Did not want it to end

I've recently discovered Marian and I am obsessed. I don't want any of her books to end. But this one in particular was amazing. I hope someone makes it into a TV show.

What a joy to listen too

Absolutely loved this book. Funny, thoughtful, sad and a joy to read. Didn’t want it to end. Particularly loved the narration, nothing better than an Irish accent!

Marian does a fantastic job narrating!

Keyes' books aren't always my bag but loved this one! I was worried when I read r eviews that said narration was difficult to follow but I didn't find that at all!?? It was lovely to listen to and Marain really brought all her characters to life!

Great story!

This book was a great listen and I frequently had it on throughout my day as I couldn’t wait to find out the ending. Well worth a listen. The only downside would be that the recording at parts seemed to have breaks where it shouldn’t or not have big enough break gaps between paragraphs. It didn’t always ‘flow’ as you might expect. Overall, well worth a listen.

Frustrating narration

The storyline isn't what I would usually read. It was a little tedious listening to others gossipy lives. I could relate to a couple of characters but the narrator ruined it with her silly "haha's" and no noticeable changes between characters. I couldn't tell when settings and storylines changed which became very frustrating. People in my book club enjoyed it but it wasn't my cup of tea.

Hard to follow

I listened to this book for hours when I was painting and I still couldn’t tell you anything about this book! Haha! (Sorry)

Great story

Love the story, love the author’s performance.
Just a bit of poor editing resulting in an absence of gap between topic changes.

Definitely recommend!
