I guess I'm kinda into chick lit recently. after completing two addictive sophie kinsella's (shopaholic abroad & shopaholic and sister), I borrowed marian keyes' last chance saloon from the nearby library.

the story revolved around 3 best friends and their struggle on their love life. one of them thought she couldn't live without a man and thus, any man would do. so she wasted 2 long years having non-committal relationship with an undeserving man while she kept giving excuses for all his annoying behaviors. another girl had a troubled past and thus she steeled herself to reject any romance possibilities, believing instead that men would just leave her after they knew the real her.

until one of them suffered from a life-threatening disease, and ordered his two friends to do what they were supposed to do all along. one was to leave the undeserving boyfriend, and the other was to get herself a man. they resented him for ordering them around, though they knew those were the right thing to do. in fact, all he wanted was to make sure his friends were not going to waste their lives.

just when he did not really care anymore, they started to take actions to live their lives to the fullest.

the novel was thick enough to make me feel involved with the main characters. and I simply knew it would have a happy end, and it didn't disappoint me.

next book I'm gonna devote myself to: lukisan hujan by sitta karina
