Really enjoyed it!

Tried reading the hard copy of this several times and just couldn’t get into it. The second the narrators cheery Irish voice began telling the story, I was hooked!! Loved it.

Good!

I do love your stories Marian.
Interesting and quirky, BUT using my Lord's Name in vain so often really puts me off.

Fabulous. Would listen to it again in a heartbeat.

I loved the ending. Just when you think Marian Keyes could not outperform her previous novels, she does. A very well thought out story which flowed beautifully.

great cast of characters, but romance fell flat

As usual, Marian Keyes has written characters that are fascinating, frequently hilarious and complex. And Aoife McMahon's reading is terrific. I wasn't as keen on the plot though and struggled with the second half of the book, getting frustrated with the main characters actions and not quite believing in or caring about the romance. Ending felt rushed to me. Recommend to fans of Marian Keyes's other books but if you haven't read her before, I would suggest starting with one of the Walsh books or a different standalone title.
