Synopsis:

Critics and readers fell madly in love with Keyes's funny and moving tale of three friends who make a pact to improve their lives. Friends since the days when leg warmers were cool, Tara, Katherine, and Fintan have graduated to their slightly more serious thirties — and only Fintan has what can honestly be called a "love life."

As Tara struggles daily with her eternal diet and her lowlife boyfriend, Katherine, in her life of ordered calm, believes that the safest relationship is the one she has with her TV remote control. But fate is about to throw a curve ball that will lead Fintan to extract a very serious promise from his two best friends. And when catastrophe inevitably follows crisis, everyone's life is sure to change in unexpected ways — and not necessarily for the worse.

You took a vacation gone mad in Rachel's Holiday.

You flew away with Margaret—good girl gone bad—in Angels.

You got a peek inside the cutthroat world of women's fashion magazines in Sushi for Beginners.

Now, raise your glass to Tara, Katherine, and Fintan in Last Chance Saloon.
