I have finished a book, surprisingly, considering I've been über-stressed because of school and grad school and what not. I've finished Marian Keyes' The Other Side of the Story. Obviously, I've read books by her before, but to tell you the truth, it really isn't that great. Kind of boring to tell you the truth. When you take into consideration what it is about, it just sounds like the bitchyness that might be occurring in her life from her editor and publishers, and the author just wants to write about and complain.
Basically the book is about 3 women who are inter-connected. One is an literary agent and is having an affair with one of the partners in her firm. Another one of the women is a struggling author who stole her best friend's boyfriend (who is the other women in the story). The last woman wants to get revenge on her ex-best friend by ruining her life. The book switches between the characters and tells their stories.
I must admit, that at the beginning I did find some of the parts kind of hilarious, and I actually laughed out loud, but for the most part I couldn't wait until it was finished. I wouldn't really recommend it.
Until next time, Happy reading!
