This Charming Man
by Marian Keyes
Suave Irish politician Paddy de Courcey is getting married. Which is news to Lola, who thought she was his girlfriend. And to Grace, a dogged reporter dead-set on uncovering the truth about him, after he ruined her sister’s life. This 2008 novel is one of Keyes’ most hard-hitting, dealing with alcoholism and domestic violence—but her gift for affectionate mocking lifts what might otherwise be devastating subject matter. Colleen Hoover’s It Ends With Us meets Helen Fielding’s Bridget Jones’s Diary.
