Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married is a 1996 novel by Irish author Marian Keyes.[1] It chronicles the life of Lucy Sullivan, a 26-year-old perpetually broke, unlucky-in-love office worker from London, who has a penchant for bad boys, a needy, alcoholic and flawed father, a dead-end job and exasperating flatmates (dippy Charlotte and bossy Karen).[2] The book is written in the first person and is described by Keyes as a "sideways" sequel to her first novel Watermelon.[3] The novel was adapted into a television series in 1999. It aired on the ITV network, but struggled with numerous scheduling changes. The series has aired internationally and has been released on DVD.
