Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married this question feed

asked by pits on November 1, 2006 12:22 AM

What happens when a psychic tells Lucy that she'll be getting married within the year? Her roommates panic! What is going to happen to their blissful existence of eating take-out, drinking too much wine, bringing men home, and never vacuuming?

Lucy reassures her friends that she's far too busy arguing with her mother and taking care of her irresponsible father to get married. And then there's the small matter of not even having a boyfriend.

But then Lucy meets gorgeous, unreliable Gus. Could he be the future Mr. Lucy Sullivan? Or could it be handsome Chuck? Or Daniel, the world's biggest flirt? Or even cute Jed, the new guy at work?

Maybe her friends have something to worry about after all....

I think this one is my favorite Marion Keyes book and I have almost read them all now. She is such an entertaining writer and its sad that she gets lumped in with the other "Chic Lit" stuff because I feel her stories are so much more than mere chick lit! She tackles some serious issues as drug and alcohol abuse, family relations and the business world. She doesnt get enough recognition!! I love all her books but this one is my favorite because of Daniel. He's dreamy.... sigh!

I was first introduced to the world of Marian Keyes through reading "Watermelon." I loved this book so much, that I immediately wanted to read more so I chose to read "Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married," thinking that it would be a fun read. After all, on the cover of the book implies that readers will 'Laugh till they cry.'

But after reading it, the books actually wasn't as funny as people said it would be. The main character Lucy is quite nasty at times, especially to her friend Daniel who is so kind to her. The only reason why I finished this book was because I thought it might get better, but it didn't really improve much. I was a little dissapointed..but I will probably still read more books by Marian Keyes. But this one was definitely not her best.

If you're in the mood for a happy-ending love story, this is it. I couldn't put the book down. Lucy is a naive, loveable woman, looking for love in all the wrong places, but ends up finding happiness and love somewhere she never even considered. I found myself rooting for her throughout the book, through every obstacle she encountered.

Marian Keyes is wonderful at bringing her characters to life. They're believable, with real issues, and always seem to come out ahead in the end. This is chick-lit at the best!
