Sheila Flanaghan and Patricia Scanlan are other Irish writers in a similar vein to Marian Keyes, also Cathy Kelly. They are all easy 'holiday read' type authors that are easy to pick up and put down, IMO.

Milly Johnson for UK based chicklit. Love her stuff.
Erin Kaye is another good Irish one.

Meringue33 · 04/05/2013 20:38

Lisa Jewell?

NoRoomForMeInMyBed · 04/05/2013 22:31

Milly Johnson sound promising, which one should I start with?
Have read some Sinead Moriarty, hmmm am now engrossed in Amazon reviews...:)

Cecelia Ahern?

Likesshinythings · 04/05/2013 22:42

Jojo Moyes and Jenny Colgan would be my suggestions

KindleMum · 04/05/2013 22:46

For Milly Johnson, I'd start with The Yorkshire Pudding Club or A Spring Affair or The Birds and the Bees. But they're all good.

Bernadette Strachan?

AngryFeet · 04/05/2013 22:55

Fiona Walker. Kiss Chase, French Relations, Well Groomed, Snap Happy and Between Males are the best but she has done lots.

wiltingfast · 09/05/2013 09:08

Milly Johnston
Fiona Walker
Adele Parks.

Best suggested so far.

I'd add Jill Mansell

wiltingfast · 09/05/2013 09:08

Oh and Katie Fforde's early books also vg. Rose Revived etc.

SkaterGrrrrl · 14/05/2013 03:16

Jill mansell!

TheRealFellatio · 14/05/2013 03:24

Jane Fallon

AgIomparClinne · 15/05/2013 06:47

Fiona Walkers books are very racy!

Sarah Mason is not very well known but excellent.

I love Lisa Jewell and have re-read so many if her books.

Not strictly "chic" lit but I enjoy Mike Gayles books.

Josie Lloyd and Emlyn Rees write together and give the male and female side of the story.

Chris Manby?

I read First Last Kiss by Ali Harris recently and really enjoyed it.
Always enjoy Adele Parkes too.

driftwoodsands · 15/05/2013 15:51

Carole Matthews is very good.

NotAQueef · 15/05/2013 15:55

Angels I cried a lot at the First Last Kiss - lovely book

JoJo Moyes - you before me - another lovely read

Adele Parks is another whose books I love and would recommend.
Dorothy Koomson

NotAQueef · 15/05/2013 15:57

Also - I love Emily Barr's books - they tend to have a bit of an edge to them.

hardbeingme · 15/05/2013 16:01

wendy holden?

Lavenderhoney · 15/05/2013 16:59

Nancy Mitford, jilly cooper..
Wendy Holden is good too.

administrator · 15/05/2013 17:58

Me before you- Jojo Moyes. Didnt think it was going to be my cup of tea, but I loved it!

AngelsWithSilverWings · 16/05/2013 12:27

NotAQueef - First Last Kiss was set where I live. It was funny being able to picture the places where various scenes took place.

We seem to have similar tastes in books so I'll have to check out the others you have mentioned.

I second the recommendation for Dorothy Koomson - I've read every book she has written. Always brilliant.
