Sushi For Beginners (~)

I have finally finished another book! It's called Sushi For Beginners by Marian Keyes. I've already read a book by her, and didn't think it was anything spectacular, but I decided to give her another try. Again, it wasn't the best book in the world, and it really doesn't have any substance to it, but it's still one of those books you want to read in order to make you feel good. I guess you could say that it's 'chick lit'. The only thing is, I came out more sad after reading it. I don't know whether it's because I'm already feeling lonely, or if the book in general made me sad. Who knows!

Anyway, the book is about 3 women who have 'inter-connected' lives. It's about how these women go about trying to find their happiness in life, and all the 'trials and tribulations' they have to through beforehand. I guess you could say that it's a pretty sappy book, or at least the theme of it is. It's 564 pages long, but really it didn't need to be that long. But sometimes authors want to expand their storyline more than it should be expanded.  The good thing is, Marian Keyes doesn't insist on describing everything in a room, she tends to leave that up to the reader. Another thing I liked about the books is that it's set in Ireland, yes it does sometimes make it hard to understand what the characters are saying because they use slang words that I've never heard of before. But that's just something you have to deal with, I suppose.

All-in-all, it's an okay book.

Hopefully, I'll be able to settle on one book a lot easier/faster than the last time! Until next time, happy reading!
