Critic reviews

"A born storyteller." ( Independent on Sunday)
"When it comes to writing page-turners that put a smile on your face and make you think, Keyes is in a class of her own." ( Daily Express)

A bit lightweight and fluffy compared with her other books but a nice enough listen.

Not her best

I read lots of Marian Keyes in my 20’s and at that stage I wanted to meet someone desperately and sushi for beginners gave me hope. I still remember how I felt when those two characters got together and from that moment on I couldn’t get enough of her books.

Now as I reach my 40’s I’m just at a totally different place so it’s not the fault of the author (I don’t think) but I really wanted Amy to find and love herself. To realise that she is enough and it wasn’t the love of a man she needed and she could be her own hero. I still believe I’m a hopeless romantic but this story just didn’t resonate with me one bit and I found myself getting annoyed at the old fashioned portrayal of a woman needing man in order to survive.

I have loved my years of Marian Keyes but it’s time I bow out and find a new author with a more modern take on life and love.

Am I too old for this author now?!

This story was good and held my interest. The narrator is good for the female voices but men are dreadful. One character in particular (who featured quite a bit) was so frustrating I almost stopped listening!!!

Not her best but still good. Some terrible accents

This story was poignant, moving, and beautifully written but so much of it was sad that it made me sad too.

Huge MK fan, a little disappointed

the accents from the narrator are truly horrific. I think they are supposed to be Scottish and Brasilian...

don't do reviews, but...
