Tara, Katherine y Fintan son tres amigos irlandeses de la infancia que van a vivir a Londres. Los tres se juntan a menudo, se emborrachan, se ríen y se confiesan las intimidades de sus vidas. Fintan descubre que tiene cáncer y decide que sus amigos han de cumplir con los deseos de un hombre moribundo, Tara acaba dejando a su novio, un profesor antipático con un gran complejo de inferioridad, Katherine conoce a un hombre y es muy feliz con su relación. Ha pasado un año, poco c poco Fintan se está recuperando y todos han progresado algo en su vida personal. Hasta Tara tiene un novio aceptable. the three main characters, Tara, Fintan, and Katherine were as different as chalk and cheese, but they had a great friendship and were comfortable and relaxed in each others company. Tara had a bit of a problem with food and I found myself finding similarities between my own relationship with food and hunger as hers. Her relationship with her boyfriend Thomas annoyed me as I wanted her to snap out of it and tell him where to go. Katherine was too stand offish to be real, she was portrayed as a strong, confident woman on the outside but had obviously been hurt at some point in her life and this made her push people away. Joe (a gentleman) a work colleague tried to make an impression on her – her responses were cruel and cutting, this annoyed me, her office name Ice Queen was appropriate, but there was nothing regal about her in my mind. Fintan was flamboyant and fabulous, a true drama queen albeit a male. His lover, Milo " Italian Pony" was your typical down trodden character, more so once Fintan was diagnosed with cancer – it was a real turning point, not just for his character but for everyone. They all seemed to re-evaluate their own situations especially after Fintan makes a couple of difficult requests of Tara and Katherine. Absolutely loved the characters - Fintan's mother and brother who come from Ireland to London to visit. Their country ways and outlook on life had me laughing as they were like fish out of water in London . Lorcan (super stud) is an ar... hole, he is a horrible character who enters the story early on and you read about his predatory behaviour and wonder where he fits with the main characters. This comes to light at the end and makes sense of Katherine's defensive wall that she has built around her self. overall this is an enjoyable read that revolves around 3 friends and their reaction and coping mechanism in response to Fintan becoming seriously ill. A mixture of heart-wrenching moments, balanced out by some very funny moments, provides you as a reader a ride on an emotional roller coaster. O destino entrará em cena sem pedir licença, mudando as vidas de três amigos de forma totalmente inesperada e muito divertida! Tara, Katherine e Fintan são amigos inseparáveis. Tara namora há dois anos, mas a relação está cada dia pior. Katherine se desiludiu aos 19 anos e nunca mais se abriu para o amor. Até que Fintan, o ponto de equilíbrio na amizade dessa dupla, revela que tem uma séria doença. Com isso, as duas amigas prometem fazer tudo que o amigo pedir. Graças às suas exigências malucas, Fintan assistirá de camarote às mudanças – para melhor, claro – nas vidas de Tara e Katherine. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
