Grown Ups
by Marian Keyes
I’m a huge Marian Keyes fan and her latest book, Grown Ups is an absolute joy. In parts hilarious and, at other times, deeply moving, Marian’s signature style of tackling hard-hitting subjects with grace and humour prevails in this latest offering. I actually listened to the audiobook of Grown Ups after it was recommended by a friend and, with it being read by Marian herself, it was beautiful to listen to.
Grown-Ups perfectly represents those awkward family dynamics, whereby you have a rich one, a successful one, the perfect home-maker etc. The Casey’s are witty, caring, complex and entirely dysfunctional in so many ways, but I couldn’t help but love them. Listening to their story in Marian’s gorgeous Irish accent was a joy, and I genuinely felt like I’d escaped into their world. There’s so many characters and an awful lot going on, but once you’ve got your head around who’s who, it’s a brilliant story!
