I also can't believe the Tom Cruise story!!? I'm a fan of the more grippy chicklits and enjoy Marian Keyes because she's not afraid to tackle issues others do not touch. <br>Thanks for the review, Scandalous is definately on my wish list!

I laughed out loud so many times and even cried. I agree there was quite a lot of sex and drugs but thank goodness as I want a gritty read and that is sometimes hard to find. But there was sweetness and romance in there too. And I loved how Lucy was so different and mixed with the aristocracy - that was quite an eye-opener too. I ended the book stumped as to who I wanted to be - Lucy or Max. Still deciding. A bit of both I think. Wonderful. The best book I've read in ages.Daisynoreply@blogger.com
