Her death at age 73, announced by Vincent Browne on Irish television late on 30 July 2012, was mourned as the death of one of Ireland's best-loved and most recognisable writers.

this was a comfort read. i went through a maeve binchy phase in high school, thanks to watching circle of friends, but this was the only one i remember liking enough to reread. i think i liked how all the women (at least the ones you were meant to like) knew exactly the right thing to say.

Engrossing but basically trash. Lewis Gray, a great hero name, too bad he wasn't a hero, but instead an asshole.

A great chic lit book. It was enjoyable to read all different snippets of all different characters.
My favorite character was Blouse Brennan. A quick happy read
