Oh. My heart. And the thought of gasping and crying and laughing continuously for the length of 13hr audible book!

Marian Keyes with some of her best work! What more could a fan want?
I couldn't put this one down and it was such a roller coaster ride going through all that the heroine goes through - the betrayal, the uncertainty, the disbelief, the way she starts to get her life back together. Add to this a spectacular cast that Marian Keyes knows to do so well - everyone shone with their own light and it was like meeting people you know in real life every time I picked up this book after having to reluctantly put it down because life called me to do other things beside finish this one.

If you love Marian Keyes, this is a classic. Light reading with all the drama under the sun, every incident that could happen does, but in classic fashion you still get a happy ending. Exactly what I need from chick-lit

I really didn’t enjoy this book. It really just went against my moral code when it came to marriage and I couldn’t really get over that. I didn’t like the characters and I didn’t like the glamourised ED and anxiety. was really not a fan and it was putting me in a bad headspace so I couldn’t finish it. Feels harsh giving it one star but this is one of the first books I couldn’t keep reading.
