This book was so good. It was sad and intense but also really funny, I loved the writing and the different points of view from the characters and the themes were explored really well. I absolutely loved the third act, it was so emotionally charged and I loved the storyline. I just had to give this five stars.

An enjoyable read but not my favourite of from Marian Keyes. I felt like it could have been shorter and ended up at the same point. Unremarkable but worth a read if you’re looking for something in this genre.

I love when I find a new author to love and they have an extensive backlist - and I'm very late to the Marian Keyes party, so I have plenty to choose from.

Keyes writes about family (and relationships generally) brilliantly. She gets the many contradictions and complexities, but most importantly she knows how to write about love and affection without tipping into happiness. She just knows how to translate life onto the page. This book in particular had a lot of characters and many moving parts, but I never once felt like I'd missed anything thanks to Keyes' skill. She's a writer unafraid of tackling modern problems, but she does so with a light hand that makes for an immensely relatable, readable book.
