 3.75/5 to Last Chance Saloon by Marian Keyes. 

I haven't read this in... many many years (at least 15, if not 20) but it was still as enjoyable as I remembered - although not the 5 star read 20-something Cassie found it. It's definitely a product of its time with some of the views etc and I found some of the choices the characters made a little annoying... but overall  really enjoyed getting to know them all over again and experiencing their lives with them
