The Brightest Star In The Sky

I don't normally read books of this genre (it's listed as chick-lit and/or romance). But I found the book by a pool in Thailand, and it had the word star in the title, so I thought that I'd give it a chance as I sunbathed.

I have to give the book four stars due to the pace in which I consumed the book (the short chapters made it so easy to just keep reading). It was funny, clever, Irish. I loved how early on I was invested in the characters. It was a little annoying not knowing the point from which the narrator is coming from, but about 2/3 through the book enough clues are given, so my annoyance waned. Also, I saw as to why Maeve was distressed SO early on that it was a bit frustrating for me to read about her. Also I disliked Jemima's 'death scene', it was a bit too cheesy , but the way the Grudge was wonderfully done.So, overall, quite cheesy, sublimely funny, sad at parts, and an expectedly campy ending.

I liked it much more than I thought I would! Got annoyed and confused with some ofthe characters, yes, but that's to be expected; and all in all, even then it was very well written. A keeper.
