Well, James has only gone and left her, and with a brand new baby. Warm and witty, it was like sitting down and having a good gossip session with your best friend and a bottle of wine. The first time I read Watermelon, and there have been several readings over the years, I was enamoured by Keyes’ writing. I read it quite some time after she had made a name for herself with Rachel’s Holiday. MY THOUGHTS: This was the first book by Marian Keyes that I ever read. So much so, in fact, that when James slithers back into her life, he’s in for a bit of a surprise. ![]() ![]() ![]() And there, sheltered by the love of a quirky family, she gets better. Claire is left with a newborn daughter, a broken heart, and a postpartum body that she can hardly bear to look at. Then, on the day she gives birth to their first baby, James informs her that he’s leaving her. As he was present at the birth, I can only assume the two events weren’t entirely unrelated.ĪBOUT THIS BOOK: Claire has everything she ever wanted: a husband she adores, a great apartment, a good job. It is the day I gave birth to my first child. EXCERPT: February fifteenth is a very special day for me. ![]()
