She avoids relationships because she has found that all men seem to want from her is the chase. She is successful, financially stable, and compulsively neat. She knows that she is a failure if she doesn’t have a man. Her friends hate him, but she defends his stinginess as prudence and his constant nagging about her weight as his way of caring about her. Tara is stuck in a going-nowhere rut with the nasty, emotionally abusive Thomas. Katherine and Tara have not been so lucky. Fintan met his boyfriend, Sandro, several years ago, and they have a wonderful relationship. In the interim only one of them has found true love. They grew up in the small Irish village of Knockavoy, and left it to come to London about twelve years ago. Katherine, Tara, and Fintan have been friends for a long time. But finally it’s here, her new book, and I have to say I was not disappointed. Unfortunately, then I had to wait and wait and wait for this one to cross the sea. Last summer I discovered Marian Keyes, and I lapped up her three books like cream. Now, raise your glass to Tara, Katherine, and Fintan in Last Chance Saloon.I’ve been waiting to read Last Chance Saloon for over a year now. You got a peek inside the cutthroat world of women's fashion magazines in Sushi for Beginners. You flew away with Margaret-good girl gone bad-in Angels. You took a vacation gone mad in Rachel's Holiday. You laughed 'til you cried in Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married. You devoured the hilarious antics of Claire in Watermelon. And when catastrophe inevitably follows crisis, the lives of three best friends are sure to change in unexpected ways. But now that they've graduated to their slightly more serious thirties, only Fintan has what can honestly be called a "love life." With Tara struggling daily with her eternal diet-and her dreadful, penny-pinching boyfriend-and Katherine keeping her single existence as organized as her drawer full of matching bra and panty sets, it seems they'll never locate the exit door out of the "last chance saloon."īut it's always when you are least ready for change that fate insists on one. Ever since legwarmers were cool, best friends Tara, Katherine, and Fintan have survived small-town ennui, big-city heartbreak, and endless giddy nights out on the town.
