Don't waste your time on this one, I felt like ripping my hair out on several occasions. Absolutely no surprises along the way either, it is blatantly obvious who Lucy will end up with from the moment he's introduced, and every other plot point is predictable and cloying. I really have trouble believing this is written by the same author as Last Chance Saloon and Sushi for Beginners, as this book is just riddled with horrible characters, tedious dialogue and a plot that is shallow at best. Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married by Marian Keyes - Penguin Books Australia Published: 3 July 2017 ISBN: 9781405934398 Imprint: Michael Joseph Format: Paperback Pages: 672 RRP: 22. The protagonist, Lucy, is whiny, obnoxious and very faux-modest, and the dialogue is often either stilted or irritating ( take for example the constant need to address a person by name at the beginning or end of EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE.) The narrator definitely didn't help, as she had none of the charm usually possessed by Marian Keyes' narrators, and managed to make everyone sound even more entitled and awful. However, this book didn't contain a single likeable person. I usually love Marian Keyes, I find her tone of writing very funny and down to earth, and her characters are always relatable and human.
