Lisa is a magazine editor, hoping to land a job in New York. But when she gets called to Dublin instead, she is devastated. At her new job she meets Ashling, her assistant editor, who is, frankly, her polar opposite. Clodagh is Ashling's best friend. She's married with 2 children, but on the verge of a mental breakdown. Will these ladies retain their sanity?
Ashling is known as Little Miss Fix-It. In her bag she everything anyone might need; a pen, plasters, an assortment of painkillers. Until her boss convinces her to stop looking out for everyone else, and look out for herself. I quite like Ashling.
Lisa is not someone I would get on with. I think she would be horrible to work for and she doesn't seem to know how to make friends. You do get some glimpses of her compassionate side, but those are rare.
Clodagh seems nice. A good friend and stable family woman. Or not. She turns out to be quite selfish and hurts her best friend by cheating on her husband with Ashling's boyfriend. I'm glad Ashling didn't forgive her and ended their friendship.
Some despicable characters mixed with some lovely ones. Falling out of love, and falling in love. New careers, challenges and hopes. What more could you want from your chick lit?
