My Favourite Goodbye By Sheila O'Flanagan
Ash O'Halloran knows she should be having the time of her life. She's twenty-nine, single and self-suporting. So shouldn't she be out there every night, swiling Chardonnay and falling in love? Or if she isn't, at least having a great time moaning about it with her friends?
Doesn't she know how to be a single woman?
Trouble is, Ash likes things as they are. She doesn't do impulsive and relationships scare her to death. At the first hint of commitment, it's goodbye. No way is she going to let herself get hurt.
But as Ash watches Dan Morland - who employed her to cook the ultimate dinner the night he proposed to his girlfriend - trying to sort out a life with the woman he loves. she begins to wonder if being Miss Self-Contained-and-Secure might also mean Missing Out.....

I haven't read the other two, but I've definitely read Tash Aw's `Harmony Silk Factory'. Good stuff. I'd definitely recommend it :-)
Pugly - I can't seem to put it down when I started reading it yesterday. Definitely good stuff! Finished with Marian Keyes...so so lah, I like Meg Cabot's Guys Next Door - really hillarious.
buku marian keyes agak witty jugak tapi ending dia tak berapa best!
Shalil - which marian keyes's have you read?
