Critic reviews

Classic Keyes: owl-wise, oven-warm and very funny. Fabulous

Keyes is a powerhouse. My Favourite Mistake is not just a fizzy romantic comedy, but also a piece of social commentary. Her protagonist’s voice is crystal cut with observations about gentrification, sexism and an economic system that tells women they are nothing without expensive serums and Peloton machines

What heaven . . . wish it could go on forever (Nigella Lawson)

Warmhearted and deftly plotted page-turner. A celebration of kindness: that of family and friends

Sharp and funny

Keyes’s prose whisks you through her tales — she has an instantly endearing turn of phrase and an acute sense of comic timing

You are all in for a treat. My Favourite Mistake is by turns hilarious and heart-breaking, with a very satisfying mystery at the heart of it too (Elly Griffiths)

The biggest treat. I've laughed, I've blushed and I've cried. How does Marian do it? Just a beautiful, hopeful story (Jennie Godfrey)

Funny and moving and very sexy (Liz Nugent)

Unbelievable…so much talent (Chris Evans)

Lovely Marian

I didn’t want it to end. I never wanted to leave M-town and my bestie Anna Walsh

Just a great book to listen to

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Marian Keyes' reading of her latest book. Having read most of the other Walsh-sister novels does help, I think, to get a full picture, but isn't necessary.

Predictable light fun

Could’ve been a little more concisely written as it meandered a bit , but enjoyable easy listen

Fantastic!

There is only one thing better than listening to a Marian Keyes audible book and that is listening to it being read by herself. Excellent book - loved catching up with the Walshes and so enjoyed Marian’s voice. Now let’s all wait for a Grownups sequel - holding thumbs.

Be transported and delighted

Listen to this! Enjoy the mosaic of humor, wisdom, delight of a great novel leaving one with a feel good heart!
