# 1 - Read 30 books - The Brightest Star in the Sky by Marian Keyes (book 4)



I have read just about all of Marian Keyes' books.  They are fun, easy to read, chick-lit books that take me away from life for a little while.  There are usually silly misunderstandings, love triangles, and strong lead female characters.  This book was a little different.  It was still funny and lives interesected, but there was also a serious subject matter to the book (but I won't give it away because you don't really find out about it until near the end).  It was told through the eyes of a "spirit" (or at least that's who you think it is for much of the book, again, I won't tell) and it was a new concept to me.  I couldn't put it down and absolutely had to finish the last 200 pages even though it took me until 2 in the morning. 

There are a lot of flashbacks, which I loved because you got the whole history of each character/couple, but it was easy to follow.  Each character was really developed and you came to dislike or cheer on each one.  I liked that this book was different from her others.  It was a great read.
