Meet Maggie Walsh.

Unlike the rest of her family, Maggie has always done everything right. At thirty-three she has a proper job, is happily married to Garv and never puts a foot wrong.

So when she makes a break for Hollywood with her best friend, Emily, her family and friends don't know what to think.

In the City of Angels, Maggie gets to do things she's never done before: mixing with film stars, pitching scripts, partying non-stop.

No one ever expected predictable Maggie to do something so unpredictable. And in LA, Maggie can be whoever she wants to be.

But sooner or later, Maggie must face the life - and the people - she left behind, and discover whether finding herself, means losing the people she loves . . .

Love the Walsh sisters? Don't miss out on the eagerly awaited sequel to Rachel's Holiday: AGAIN, RACHEL . . .

    Verdammt schlechtes Buch. Der Plot ist viel zu lang gezogen und einfach uninteressant. Die Charaktere sind platt und überhaupt nicht witzig. Nicht zu empfehlen

    Das dritte Buch. der Serie über die Walsh Schwestern ist leider das schwächste.

    Maggie, die Hauptperson, wird im Vergleich zu ihren Schwestern am langweiligsten beschrieben („Like plain yogurt at room temperature“), das färbt leider auch in gewisser Weise auf das Buch ab. Sie verlässt ihren Mann und verbringt einen Monat im Lala Land LA und bricht dabei aus ihrem drögen Wesen aus. Währenddessen kommen immer mehr Details aus ihrer Ehe und Vergangenheit ans Tageslicht. Das Buch liest sich leicht und insgesamt ist vor allem die komplette Reihe sehr lesenswert.
