Ever since legwarmers were cool, best friends Tara, Katherine, and Fintan have survived small-town ennui, big-city heartbreak, and endless giddy nights out on the town. But now that they've graduated to their slightly more serious thirties, only Fintan has what can honestly be called a "love life." With Tara struggling daily with her eternal diet?and her dreadful, penny-pinching boyfriend?and Katherine keeping her single existence as organized as her drawer full of matching bra and panty sets, it seems they'll never locate the exit door out of the "last chance saloon."

But it's always when you are least ready for change that fate insists on one. And when catastrophe inevitably follows crisis, the lives of three best friends are sure to change in unexpected ways ... and not necessarily for the worse.

You devoured the hilarious antics of Claire in Watermelon.
You laughed 'til you cried in Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married.
You took a vacation gone mad in Rachel's Holiday.
You flew away with Margaret?good girl gone bad?in Angels.
You got a peek inside the cutthroat world of women's fashion magazines in Sushi for Beginners.

Now, raise your glass to Tara, Katherine, and Fintan in Last Chance Saloon.

Love it.

This is probably my favorite Marian Keyes book. It's hilarious and entertaining, and the characters are well drawn, if occasionally parodies.


I fell in love with the characters!

I absolutely loved this book. I've read every single one of Marian Keyes' books and this is one of my favorites. The characters are so believable and real.
I didn't want to put it down, I nearly cried when I finished it because I wanted it to go on forever.


Great Chick Lit

No, it's not Jane Austen or the Bronte sisters. But for this genre, it's very, very good. A trio of Irish transplants make their way through the London singles scene. They deal with love, careers, friendships and family -- the stuff of life. Each character is unique, carefully drawn and relatable. The plot takes some unexpected and even brave twists and turns. While I can't say that it made me laugh or cry, it did entertain and touch me. I recommend it.

Poor Binding

The book is not her best work however the content is similar in style and humor. I found funny anecdotes relative to the stages of being in "30's".

The pages are out of sequence so you need to skip around to follow the story.
