She’s expecting their first child any day now. Claire is happily married to her husband James and living in London. The first book deals with the oldest of the Walsh sisters, Claire. “Watermelon” is the first book in the Walsh Family series by Marian Keyes. I also thought that her romance came out of nowhere and ultimately didn’t work. Also the whole why behind James’s affair read as unbelievable to the extreme. I thought that Claire too easily caved and was sitting around waiting for a man to save her. The Walsh family is kind of nasty and not supportive. The not so good things, I see more flaws in this one upon re-read. So good things I can say, the re-read went by fast and I loved the change in Claire, but it didn’t really stick though. And when you read about how she changes over the course of the series, she ends up being the Walsh sister I dislike the most (tied with Helen and her book, “The Mystery of Mercy Close”). And now I wonder if I read this years ago and liked Claire or what? Cause Claire drives me a bit insane in this book. I haven’t read them in years, but decided to take the first two for a whirl this weekend. So I have all of the Walsh Family books in paperback.
