A nervous breakdown seems like a great idea: all that lying in bed and watching daytime TV. But who's going to have it? Will it be housewife Clodagh, who spends her days microwaving pasta for her demanding toddlers and waiting for her beautiful husband Dylan to come home? Or Lisa, hard, brittle and shiny as an M&M, reeling from the shock of a demotion from her fabulous job in London to a one-horse magazine in Dublin? Or Ashling, so normal she's weird?

For many reasons I should have hated this (most of the characters are terrible, you can see the plot coming from a mile away, etc.) but... I rather enjoyed reading it. A guilty pleasure.
I had to read this for one of my lit courses on popular narratives at uni and I really enjoyed reading it. My only complain, and most of my classmates and prof agree on it, is that we didn't quite like the very end of the book
