Praise for Sushi for Beginners

Marian Keyes' Sushi for Beginners is the blissfully funny, smart tale of three women who discover that the line between success and failure, happiness and sadness, sanity and madness is finer than they ever thought . . . 'Dammit,' she realized. 'I think I'm having a nervous breakdown.'

from the publisher's description

Classic Keyes. Constantly surprising, gloriously entertaining, and has a dark underbite that makes it irresistible

The Pool

Nails the joy and pain of the working world . . . a brilliantly written and fabulously well-observed romantic comedy

Independent

Should come with a health warning. It's totally addictive . . . a real page turner

Sunday Express

Chatty and warmhearted, Keyes's talent is to tell it how it is
