Sushi for Beginners by Marian Keyes

All right! I guess my favourite novel is Sushi for Beginners. I like to read about women who are in their early thirties, their problems and their happiness. I do not know if it is because I will know what I am supposed to do and what I am not supposed to do when I am in my thirties. and I do not think I am the only one to recognize part of my life wiht theirs.It is a "girly" book so I do not think boys would like it.
I have lots of memories from it, I just read it. I can not point out just a few events in the book, the whole book is so great. But perhaps the strongest memory is when you realize that Clodagh (Ashling´s best friend)is having a secret relationship with Ashling´s boyfriend, and that is tearing their friendship apart. At first you just know that Clodagh is seeing someone and then you understand who he really is and you feel the pain that Ashling must have felt the moment when she sees them together.

I have just read the novel once, but I do not think I will be "burned out" on it for a long time. If you read some other books by Marian Keyes you will see that many of them are about women looking for happiness. All right I said, I like these kind of books but I sometimes I hesitate whethwe I like them or not.
