I've read a few. She's not bad, but I'm not really a chick-lit fan, so perhaps am not the best person to ask. Still, as far as chick-lit goes, she's definitely one of the better writers (in my opinion).

I love her. :)  Guilty pleasure chick-lit, sure, but I've really enjoyed everything she's written.  Several of her books each focus on one of a bunch of sisters - Watermelon, Angels, Anybody Out There (I think it's called) and a few others - it's worth checking the publication dates and reading them in order so that you don't spoil yourself a bit for the future stories. :)

I've read her stuff. They are cute chick lit novels. I am reading Watermelon now... well that and about four other books I've started lately!

I believe she also writes very short pieces for a woman's magazine.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE her books! I laugh out loud at every one! She's the author who got me into the chick-lit books. I think she's great!  ;D

Good Chick Lit - Watermelon was my fave.  Though I slightly prefer Sophie Kinsella.

I like Marion Keyes and Sophie Kinsella.  I am pretty certain one of them writes under a second name as well.  I can't remember, but I will check my stack of chick-lit when I get home.

I think I like both Marian Keyes and Sophie Kinsella equally, they are the two authors I can count on laughing out loud with.

Watermelon is my favorite Marian Keyes book too.

I think if you like Marian Keyes you would like Sophie Kinsella and vice versa.

Great holiday reads. I'm a sucker for chick lit when I'm overly tired or looking for super light entertainment (like by the pool). I like Marian Keyes, but I actually prefer Lisa Jewel and... ugh just lost the name. Hang on. Amazon check. Anna Maxted.  :)
