Anybody Out There? by Marian Keyes
4.0
Should probably be 5, but not sure I can give 5*s to a book that has had me ugly sobbing in tropical paradise. Maybe I’ll feel more stable eventually and rethink to 5.
Hugely emotive (not sure I’ve sobbed like this since Me Before You) and gorgeously written in dealing with complex relationships.
Loved the interludes with Helen and Mammy Walsh, definitely needed!
Also lovely to see Rachel and Luke but would’ve liked some more details about their wedding - though, truly, I get that wasn’t the point of the book.
Yeah death is awful and everyone tells you it’ll get better with time and even though it does - this book really goes through the stages where that never feels like it that’s never going to be true.
Honestly love is just the best and the worst thing in the world.
ADORED the part where she realised Aidan wasn’t the only thing she loved.
I liked the Jack plot and the circle of like anger for grief and the dog toy but also it is okay that sometimes like can just be really crap!
Ahhh I binged it in a day and I’m a little broken but I did love it!
But need a lighter relief now!
