I must say that I was very impressed with "Cocktails for Three!".

You read about the tales of 3 best friends who meet at a Manhattan Bar the same night every month. They get to catch up on everything that is going on with their lives.

Maggie is pregnant. Roxanne has been dating a married man for 6 years. Candice has such a warm heart and can't seem to say "NO."

The end of the book will throw you for a loop. As other reviews have said, you will not see it coming.

This book kept me wanting to know what was going to happen next to the (3) characters. I am sure that you will be able to identify a personal friend of yours for Maggie, Roxanne and Candice. I was able to finish in just (1) day which is rare for me.

I can't wait to check out Wickman's other two books.

Enjoy!

Cocktails for Three is a fun and feisty novel about three Londoners at critical points in their lives. They get together at their favorite bar after a difficult day at The Londoner -- a fashion magazine where they all work -- to discuss their latest exploits through cocktails. Each one of them is facing a dilemma.

Candice is a successful writer, but her stabilized career becomes threatened when she stumbles upon Heather, an old friend from high school...

Maggie is a married woman awaiting the arrival of her first child. She is quite content with her position as editor for The Londoner, which is why she is torn between continuing her career and giving it all up to become a full-time wife and mother...

Roxanne is beautiful, glamorous and free-spirited. However, she is stuck in a relationship that's going nowhere, for the man in question is married with children...

Cocktails for Three is a wickedly funny read that could satisfy all Chick Lit enthusiasts. Despite its banal and recycled plot, the novel's sharp dialogue, believable characterization and excellent prose make the novel a definite must read...

Madeleine Wickham proves once again that she is more than just a "chick lit" author. Though her novels are short, they do pack a punch and try to teach a little life lesson besides.

Candice, Maggie and Roxanne are best friends who work at the Londoner, a monthly magazine in - where else? - London, and meet on the first of the month for cocktails at the Manhattan Bar. This particular month finds Maggie ready to give birth, Roxanne still with her married with children boyfriend and Candice having just broken up with her co-worker boyfriend, Justin. Candice recognizes their waitress as a girl she was at school with and says her name, just as she realizes that her recognition was probably best kept to herself as the waitress, Heather Trelawney, had to leave school when her family lost all their money due to Candice's swindling father. It strikes good-hearted Candice that she can try and make amends to Heather by helping her get a job at the magazine. Unfortunately, her good deeds don't stop there and as the saying goes, "No good deed goes unpunished."

Follow these friends through the ups and downs of motherhood, affairs, death and evil machinations and enjoy every page of it.

Sophie Kinsella is one of my favorite authors and I have been anxiously anticipating a new release from her to no avail, but I had no idea that she had previously penned five novels under the name Madeleine Wickham! Although 'COCKTAILS FOR THREE' is not her usual fare it still contained all of the spark and flare that we have come to expect from Ms Kinsella, or should I say Ms Wickham.

'COCKTAILS FOR THREE' is the story of three best friends who are each keeping major secrets from each other. The sexy and worldly Roxanne has been seeing a married man for the last six years but has yet to reveal his identity to anyone but when her friends find out it is sure to astound them. Candice is the sweet-faced girl that is easily taken advantage of and when a new "friend" sets her sights on Candice she attempts to do just that. Maggie the high powered, no-nonsense editor of the magazine where they all work finds herself overwhelmed when she finds herself relinquishing all of her power to her newborn daughter. At a time when these three need each other more than ever their secrets seem to be breaking them apart. Will these three ever be able to come clean and get their lives as well as their relationships back on track?

Anyone who has read Ms Wickham's books penned under the name Sophie Kinsella will be able to clearly tell that these are two very different sides to the same personality. While Sophie Kinsella's books kept me laughing so hard I'd have to put the book down at times to regroup, Madeleine Wickham's books are more refined and subdued in comparison. I will, however, be purchasing all books by Madeleine Wickham as well as all future books by Sophie Kinsella!

I loved this book! I really didn't want it to end. It was just easy to read, with likeable characters that you wanted to know more about. I could have kept right on reading! The best thing about this book is it made me want to find my old girlfriends. It made me miss those late night chats and junk food binges. This story is mostly about friendship and the importance of it in our lives. We all make mistakes and go through rough times, but your friends are there to back you up.If you enjoy books about young women and friendship, this book is for you. If you miss your old girlfriends or cherish the ones you still have, read this book. You just may be calling them up when you're done!

Another awesome chick lit book from the Queen herself Sophie Kinsella (for those who don't know Sophie Kinsella is Madeline Wickham's pen name). I can't tell you how excited I was to learn that Madeline Wickham was Sophie Kinsella because she is simply the best.

Cocktails for Three is a book about three friends. Maggie: editior of the Londoner, expecting her first child with her husband Giles; Roxanne still hoping Mr. Married-With-Children will leave his family for her after their secret six year affiar; and sweetie pie Candice. All three women work at the Londoner together and on the first of each month the trio meet at the Manhattan bar for cocktails, gossip and a few laughs.

The girls seem to tell each other everything but we find out that they all have secrets they are hiding. For instance, which Maggie is due to give birth very soon she is apprehensive about leaving work and raising a child; once she has the child she finds it super hard but dares not tell anyone... Maggie and Candice know there is a Mister-Married-With-Kids but they don't know who he is (you have to read to find out it's a good one)... and Candice has secretly been doing work for the girl she got hired and let move into her house (out of guilt from the past)...

Cocktails for three is a story of friendship, honesty and trust, as we get to know Maggie, Roxanne and Candice we see them test their friendships as their lives become more complicated....

You will not be dissappointed. "Sophie Kinsella" never dissappoints. The character have depth and personality. You won't be able to pit this baby down...

I've been searching for a book that really makes me laugh, characters I can relate and enjoy and a story that keeps me interested beyond the first 30 pages. Well, I found it! "Cocktails for Three" by English author Madeleine Wickham had me completely enchanted. I found the three main characters (Maggie - the pregnant one on maternity leave / Roxanne - the dating a married man one / Candice - the trusting and will do anything for a person in need one) all well rounded and hilarious.

"Cocktails" goes beyond your basic "friends forever" novel and dives into real life problems and the effects those decisions have on you and those around you.

I found this book really unique and sparkling with touches of really dark and edgy comedy. A great find! I hope others will discover this secret of mine.
