I’m going to write the review I was looking for when I started listening to this book! I came straight out of one Marian Keyes book and dove straight into this: it drove me insane initially!! I couldn’t get my head around the prose, the style, or even the voice of the narrator. But stick with it: it’s poignant, feisty and in places, laugh out loud hilarious!! The initial character Lola, is so suited to this way of writing and when the other characters come into play, you can see why. Ms Keyes tackles some really tricky issues in this book and does it with humour, sensitivity and absolute aplomb! Wonderful book with wonderful characters.

Stick with it....it’s worth it!!

I laughed and cried. The storyline was superb and witty . The narrator could not have been better. I’m going to re-listen immediately!

Wonderful

Ignore any review that complains about the "clipped" style. it is only the style of 1 of the 4 main characters and you very quickly learn to enjoy it. the book is very witty with a very clever dark story that you just want to hear played out to the end. You want the girls to triumphs, and I'm a bloke!!

It is written with great humour and the characters just draw you in

Just gets better the longer it goes on

The narrator read as if the characters were 30 years older than they were.

The story could have been more punchy. Stretched out where less would have been more.

Narrator is dreadful.
