About this listen

You'll be wincing in recognition and scratching your head in incredulity, but like Marian herself you won't be able to stop laughing at the sheer delightful absurdity that is modern life - because each and every one of us is clearly making it up as we go along. She has wonderful and tickling words of advice for those fast approaching 50.

Listening to the tales of the chemist and the games Marian and her Mammy play.

So many parts of this I could relate to. Love how she refers to her husband as "himself" all the way through. Again the narrating was amazing. Such depth and quality.

I love Aoife McMahon’s voice and I normally love books by Marian Keyes, but I skipped several chunks of this that didn’t interest me. The recording was poor - it kept jumping the way damaged vinyl’s used to, so overall I found this disappointing.

My favourite narrator

Very entertaining and funny in parts - lots for us women to identify with and fun listening to all of Marian’s antics and foibles!

Entertaining!

Great little switch your brain off listen. Ive never read a Marian Keyes novel but was looking for something light hearted inbetween historical non fiction and this did the job brilliantly

Funny and enjoyable

Any additional comments?

Several of the early chapters are pretty funny. Some are, well, a bit silly, and not in a good way! A couple, are a little boring. The best chapters are where Keyes writes seriously about depression, addiction and womens issues. The narration is excellent.

Mixed bag!

I absolutely loved this book. I listened to it going to and from work and had quite a few laugh out loud moments. Will definitely be getting another from both the author and narrator.It's the only audio book I have purchased that I was sad when it ended.
