I Certainly Love Lucy

This is definitely one of my favorite Marian Keyes books; it was the first one of her impressive resume that I read, and it retains a place in my heart and gives me warm fuzzies when I think about it. It shows Keyes' ability and further potential (given that it's one of her earliest novels) as a writer, displaying her wit, her humor, her cleverness, and the genuine personality she injects into her work. This is a benchmark for chick lit in its humble beginnings, and a great example of the depth of thinking (sadly lacking in several contemporary authors) Keyes projects to her readers. Do enjoy!

Cute

I thought the story was cute, but I found the authors writing style very frustrating. The endless paragraph-long sentences made it feel as if someone was telling a story without taking a breath. The way she would ramble about 2 or 3 different stories in the middle of a story seemed to draw out the book. It was pretty long for chick novel, and I think it was mainly because there was too much rambling.

I found myself just wanting to finish the book already, and reading to find out what happened in the end. It's weird, because I enjoyed the story, but I just didn't enjoy her delivery. :(

It's ok.

This book is ok. I liked it, but haven't been raring to read it again.

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....
