A different story with a great voice. I didn't want to put this one down. Things may have wrapped up a bit too nicely in the end, but overall I'd still give it 4 1/2 stars, so I rounded to 5. Most of the book was really funny and sweet. There were painful parts, but it wasn't over done. Bonus points for getting to read a book that takes place in Dublin and *wasn't* Americanized.
