Women everywhere will cheer for Daisy Dooley!
Daisy Dooley Does Divorce by Anna Pasternak is a humourous and heartfelt romp through 39 year old Brit, Daisy Dooley's divorce and her consequent quest to understand men, relationships, and most importantly herself and the decisions she makes. It's a Bridget Jones's Diary for divorcees and an easy, charming and highly enjoyable read. It's sometimes very silly but also often poignant and Daisy's penchant for spiritual/self-help books makes her a kindred spirit. You will love this heartwarming, easy-to-read-in-a-few-sittings book even if you’re not divorced or have never been married. Anyone who has been disappointed at some point in her life by love, particularly by a man who she was in love with, will find so much in common with delightful Daisy. She’s full of spirit, sass and sensitivity and if she were a real person I would want to be her friend.
A funny inspiring tale for anyone who has braved the courageous and sometimes disastrous journey towards true love. Meet Daisy Dooley:
“The only thing sadder than being thirty-nine and still single is being thirty-nine and freshly divorced. And unemployed. And living with your mother. (And her dogs.)”
In the tradition of Sex and the City and Bridget Jones's Diary, Anna Pasternak's popular column in the London Daily Mail, "Daisy Dooley Does Divorce", has evolved into this witty novel full of hope, humor, wine...and dachshunds.
We have created a Fan Page and a Group (Fans of Daisy Dooley Does Divorce) on Facebook, each one with slightly different content, celebrating the novel and would invite you to read about it and its lovely author there and add yourself as a fan. All you have to do is type Daisy Dooley in the Search box on the top left hand corner of your Facebook profile. Daisy also has a page on MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/daisydooley
All the best,
Christine

Really enjoyed this book. It's focused on a woman named Jersey Barnes in Wilmington, NC, who is trying to retire from the fast-paced life of a security specialist. She just wants to spend time running her local hangout and being with her boyfriend. Everything does not work out quite so smoothly as fate has other plans to keep her mind at work. This is a really great book that kept me guessing, as well as kept me laughing. It is a fun and relatable read.

I believe this is part of a series, well I enjoyed it so much I'm off to find the rest of her books!. Funny with likeable characters and a suspenseful story, it's well worth a read. Particularly if you're a foodie - you'll be drooling the pages all soggy!

I just read this one as a reviewers copy for the publisher, and was really impressed with it. I had read If You Could See Me Now by the same author, but had not really been impressed by it. So I was thoroughly surprised to enjoy this one so much. It's a clever concept, good solid characters that anyone can identify with, and a story that keeps you guessing all the way through.

Has anyone read this? I'm looking for a selection for my book club, but I'm not sure this will appeal to both men and women.

I have to be honest and say this book was a wallbanger for me. I only got about half way through it before I uttered an "ugh!!" and threw it aside in disgust. I found it very inane and couldn't believe anyone would let someone treat them so appallingly... even if it was their boss! Just my humble opinion.

Any of the Keyes books re great- but some favorites are Last Chance Saloon, Rachel's Holiday, Watermelon, Angels and her most recent, Anybody Out There. Keyes has all the best parts of Chick Lit, but bumps it up to something a little bit meatier. She never disappoints!

Grove Press (2001) ISBN: 0802137725
A coworker gave this book to me and I loved it! It's classified as Chick Lit but it's more than just that. It's a painfully real commentary on the modern American workplace. Also it was about the protagonist's own personal growth and her realization that there are other people in the world.

If you're looking for great Chick Lit or beach reading, read the Shopaholic books by Sophie Kinsella. They are fun and easy to read, and there is about 5 of them!
