Marian Keyes has a way of pulling you into her characters, but this can make for uncomfortable reading at times.
The story itself is like meeting up with old friends. It's well paced, feels realistic and left me wanting to know more about characters.
Moderate: Child death, Addiction, and Pregnancy
Moderate because the description of each event is not graphic. The description of the emotions involved, is detailed.dorsetreader's review against another edition
