The Brightest Star In The Sky (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

I loved this novel from the surface for its Austenian feel---six 20-30-40 somethings being clever and finding love in their Dublin apartment building. It kept pulling me deeper as the chapters counted down (countdown to what?!?!), the plot delved into the tragic with great poignancy, and the narrator turned toward the existential. I also thought it was interesting how even though this text deals with 'conventional' heterosexual relationships/stereotypes, the dynamics are refreshed to reflect and deal with modern dynamics, and the women are wonderfully empowered. Stunningly awful. Relationship musical chairs played by narcissistic morons in a book by an author I usually love. Audiobook is made worse by a dreadful narration by the author's sister Catriona Keyes, whose narration I have enjoyed in the past but who apparently had not set her eyes on this book before she agreed to narrate it for unsuspecting audiobook enthusiasts. Don't waste your money on this book. Try the author's 'Rachel's Holiday' or 'Anybody out there?'

Not my favorite of her books, but there were still a few laugh out loud moments.
