A story of a woman's triumph through grief. As Claire is landed with a new born baby & a deserted husband, she's not quite sure what to do with herself. It seem's the only option is to go home to her quirky family. After she passes a few weeks of grief for her soon to be ex - husband, James, she meets her 18 year old sister's friend, Adam. He helps her through the worst time of her life & she finally comes to the decision that she doesn't need James anymore - that is until, he shows up. This book manages to capture the devestating & refreshing qualities of a broken marriage & how what may seem the worst thingin your life can also be the best.
Fabulous & So Real! - By: Catht711, 29 Sep 2008 
Oh what a great book! This was my first Marian Keyes read & since I have read a further 2 & now on my fourth!
An excellent, funny read. It really does make you laugh out loud, & I guarantee most parts of the book you will really be able to relate to!
It's not one of those books where it takes a few chapters before it gets going as it really starts from chapter 1.
This is the first book about the Walsh family, I highly recommend you go on to read Rachels Holiday, Angels & Anybody Out There after this one.

Blast from the past - By: Zara, 03 Aug 2008 
Oh Gosh, I came across this book recently after finding itin a second hand bookshop & bought it immediately as my original copy was obviously stolen by one of my flatmates all those years ago. I began reading chicklitin college when I was supposed to be studying & I read everything from Marian Keys to Patricia Scanlan. Watermelon blew me away though it was so funny. Writtenin the first person it's self depreciating honest & just an excellent read that tugs at the heart strings. It's the story of Claire, the first of the Walsh sisters &in this book Keyes demonstrates the raw talent that she has so successfully continued with throughout the years. I've read all her books now & pounce on them the minute they come out but Watermelon will always have a special placein my heart. It might not be the most sophisticated book ever but I just adore it. The authour,in my opinion is THE undisputed chicklit queen.
