Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married by Marian Keyes

In this case the issues range from being the child of an alcoholic, about always choosing men that are bad for you and about settling for something less than you deserve. This book is one of Marian Keyes' earliest books, and you can definitely see her trademark style of dealing with complex and difficult topics whilst still being laugh out loud funny. Only problem is Gus is also unemployed, always broke, always drunk, always unreliable and probably unfaithful. He's good looking, funny, sexy, her friends love him (well, except maybe for Daniel)and Lucy very quickly finds herself involved in a relationship with him. All her friends think he is gorgeous but Lucy just can't see it for herself.Īnd then Lucy meets Gus - queue the soft-focus, long-lensed camera shot of a couple running in a field full of flowers. The only bloke that Lucy has managed to keep hold of for any length of time is Daniel, and they are just friends. Lucy and her friends decide that it would be a bit of a lark to go and get their fortunes read and for her to say that Lucy will be married within 18 months just made everyone laugh, because after all, Lucy can't keep any man for very long! However, as the things that the fortune teller said start to come true for the other girls, Lucy begins to believe that maybe, just maybe, it might be true for her as well. Have you ever read a book where you sat there reading, and thinking, oh my goodness, this is the story of my life, or I know someone who is EXACTLY like that? In some ways, this was one of those books for me! Will Lucy find her soulmate? Read this book if you want to laugh, cry and do no work for a week.

But then Lucy meets Gus, gorgeous, unreliable Gus, and she starts to wonder - could he be the future Mr Lucy Sullivan? Or could it be Chuck, the handsome American? Or Daniel, the world's biggest flirt? Or even cute Jed, the new boy at work? But Lucy reassures them that she's far too busy arguing with her mother and taking care of her irresponsible father to even think about getting married.Īnd there's the small matter of no boyfriend. If Lucy leaves it could disrupt their lovely lifestyle of eating takeaways, drinking too much wine, bringing men home and never hoovering.

Lucy's flatmates are appalled at the news. But Mrs Nolan has read her tarot cards and predicted that Lucy will be walking up the aisle within the year. Lucy doesn't even have a boyfriend (to be honest, Lucy isn't that lucky in love). Lucy Sullivan is getting married.or is she?
