I think Marian Keyes writes in a similar style with some big issues but her books are usually covered in glitter and sparkle.<br /><br />Bex, hope you do enjoy it more than I did. It wasn't a bad read, it just wasn't as good as I was expecting from him.Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-26432607373674797332011-03-19T19:46:51.730+00:002011-03-19T19:46:51.730+00:00I've just started reading this and so far i...I've just started reading this and so far i'm just not getting the same kind of feelimg I usually get from reading Nick Hornby... I will stick with it, though!

The most recent one for me was Juliet, Naked which I did enjoy, very much, though I always have the sneaking suspicion that his books wouldn't enjoy such a reputation as "literary fiction" if they were written by a woman.Deborah Lawrensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882043247450468229noreply@blogger.com
