Marian Keyes is gas! It's such a thrill to read her books and enjoy her wit, wisdom and insight.
My Favourite Mistake reunites us with the chaotic Walsh family and in particular Anna, who returns to Ireland for a spell to get over burn out in her PR job in New York.
She finds herself in a small Irish town, working on a project for friends. Unfortunately her "go boy", the man with the money, is Joey Armstrong, with whom she has history.
There are some fantastic characters in the book. Anna undergoes a transformation but not in the usual clichéd way of novels. We see her growing in confidence, but also shooting herself in the foot repeatedly. I liked Joey and would prefer him any day to the feathery strokers!
Marian takes her time in filling in the back stories but all the better to keep us engaged, as if we need encouragement!
Thanks for the advance copy, and thanks Marian for another great read.

I liked this, I didn't love it. Pretty wordy, no huge surprises, but I certainly can see the appeal for many. I'd probably read more from the author, as I LOL'ed several times :)
I received a complimentary copy of the novel from the publisher and NetGalley, and my review is being left freely.

An Irish romp, with a middle aged female protagonist going through menopause which seems all the rage right now. And I'm here for it.
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Marian herself and it was superb, particularly the voice of the mum!
I didn't realize until after that this book falls within a larger suite/series of books relating to the family, it is a great light read as a standalone.
