Retail therapy!

Allo!
I've finally finished Marian Keyes's Brightest Star in The Sky!
And I loved it! Not as much as I love the Shopaholic series, but it was brilliant! The story revolves around the tenants living in a flat, 66th Star Street.
There's Katie, who's forty and miserable in life, anxious to tie the knot with her workaholic boyfriend, Conall.
Then the floor below, there's Lydia, a cabbie in her twenties, with a feisty personality, sharing her flat with two Poles, Andrei and Jan.
The flat below, Jemima, eighty-eight years of age with her lovable, furry companion, Grudge ( weird name, right? ).
And lastly, Matt and Maeve, the "perfect" couple, with the same routine everyday. They spend their nights watching uninteresting TV programmes and snuggling on the couch.
Overall, I think it's worth the read, albeit the storyline's a tad too long.
8/10 :)
