Summary: A cute story that is written in a funny and clever way
Comment: I didn't really love this book, nor did I dislike it. I feel pretty neutral about it. It is the sort of story that I will not think of again after I finished it, yet I am glad that I read it.
The story begins with Claire, a sweet Irish woman, who is dumped by her husband in the hospital delivery room after she gives birth to their only child. It is told from Claire's perspective, and it is the story of her healing and moving on after the traumatic incident of her husband's abandonment. The book is quite funny and you will like most of the characters. You will find yourself cheering for Claire to get over her selfish and disrespectful husband. The ending is excellent and it leaves you with a happy feeling and a smile.
Claire and her family can be found again in other Marian Keyes books. So far, I like "Rachel's Holiday" better than "Watermelon". I do have all of Marian Keyes other books, and I am planning on reading them in the near future.

Summary: A great book that deals with real feelings...
Comment: What an absolutely fantastic story.
I have to say Keyes is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite authors. She is not afraid to deal with real issues and feelings. She knows how to make those little pep talks everyone has with themselves seem normal.
Clair has just given birth to her first child when in walks her husband to tell her he is leaving her for the "downstairs cow"...
You follow Clair as she goes through the Nazi phase, the sorry for herself phase and getting herself back to normal (but better phase). All the while dealing with living back at home, a newborn (wonderful Baby) etc.. basic life things.
This book gripped me from the beginning and didn't let me go.

Summary: I Loved Claire's Voice
Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. This book is written in Claire's voice. I loved reading her thoughts as she thought them. It was as if I would be thinking the same thing. I can't remember another book that displayed a character's thoughts in the same manner.
In addition to listening to Claire's thoughts, I loved the story and her internal struggle of deciding what she really wanted, and what she really believed. It was hard to put this one down, even after I was done reading it.
