He's Got to Go

This was a really good book that I thoroughly enjoyed. The characters were well defined and you really felt like they were real people. I shall look forward to reading more by this author.

I saw this book when I was browsing through the bookstore, was intrigued by the title, bought it and gave it a shot. It was definitely worth it. Definitely a good book for the distraction I needed, and a good, believeable story. The characters in the book were well-developed, and the three sisters- Nessa, Cate, and Bree were very likeable. You really felt what each was going through. I felt Nessa's pain of losing trust in the man you've slept next to for the last ten years and discovering he's not the person you think he is. It really put you in her shoes, as if it was affecting you, and what is running through the minds of many women unfortunate enough to have an unfaithful spouse. I felt for Cate when she was struggling with her agonizing decision, and her reasoning in the book was pretty spot on with what many women go through in her situation. Bree's situation brought me back to the time when I was younger, wondering why I attract all the "weirdos". It has a nice, lighthearted ending, But at the same time, I'm glad the author kept it realistic and didn't go too over the top with the prince charming, fluffy endings of too many chick lit books out there. I look forward to seeing more from Shelia O'Flannagan!

I wanted a book to entertain me while traveling and this book did the trick. (I needed a book that I would not feel out of touch if I was not able to pick it up for a couple weeks.) Nessa, Cate and Bree made me laugh, yell, etc. with the sibling problems and love for one another. Through thick and thin your sisters will always be there for you. This is the first book I've read from Sheila O'Flanagan and I really enjoyed it. I plan to read more of her books in the near future.

Keeping in mind European relationships are vastly different than American, I found this book to be extremely entertaining. The relationships between the sisters rang true, the narration rang true, the whole book rang true...

In Ireland, of the three Driscoll siblings, Nessa seems to be the one to have it all together. She has lived in comfort as a Riley with Adam for almost a decade and they have an eight year old child. Her sisters Cate and Bree are poster girls for failed relationships.However, Nessa believes paradise may be lost as evidence mounts that Adam is cheating especially when she consults her horoscope. Nessa wonders what to do as economically she cannot just dump Adam. She has no one to turn to for advice as her mother lives on the other side of the once emerald isle; Cate the crabby one is having problems with her boyfriend radio host Finn over her pregnancy; and finally Bree the mechanic has a host of trouble as she can't get to work on time though Adam keeps her supplied with repairs and the father of her boyfriend is in love with her.HE'S GOT TO GO is an entertaining relationship drama starring three solid female protagonists about a decade apart in age and even further distanced in how they see male partners. The story line effortlessly swings back and before between the three women though the concentration is more on Nessa, but does not neglect Cate and Bree. The characters are all well developed, not just the three Driscoll sisters. Though the ending ties up for the most part the lives of Nessa and Cate and to a lesser degree Bree, it feels much too crammed inside a short climax. Still the audience will enjoy this fine tale and want to seek more works by Sheila O'Flanagan.Harriet Klausner
