Summary
June the first, a bright summer's evening, a Monday....
And into the busy, bustling homes at 66 Star Street slips, unseen, a mysterious visitor. As the couples, flatmates and repentant singletons of No. 66 fall in and out of love, clutch at and drop secrets, laugh, cry and simply try to live, no one suspects the visitor patiently waiting in the wings.
For soon, as the light slowly fades to dark, everything is going to change....

Nice story
I really loved the concept of this title however I was a little disappointed about how the story unfolded. At first I felt it promised to be a truly magical listen and then it turned in to just another romantic comedy of sorts with a tiny hint of magic. However I did enjoy the title, Marian Keyes is funny and the narrator was perfectly suited for the characters and it is a lovely story so I would recommend it for anyone who is looking for a nice easy and entertaining listen.

Wanted to know what happened next!
Really connected with all of the characters and their stories, at times very sad, at times very funny. Wanted to know what happened to everyone after it ended

Brilliant
The performance was brilliant.
I had read the book several years ago and thought of it many times over the years. Usually I don't like rereading books but I decided to download this . It was like putting a comfy pair of slippers on, I love love loved it.

I want to listen all over again!
I want to listen to this all over again. I loved this. This book has it all and is fabulously written and narrated. There are laughs in this book but more importantly the many stories kept me gripped and the serious subjects were handled with care. I loved the ending or endings as there are lots of mini stories of the various occupants of star street. I love Marian Keyes! Brilliant.

Too long winded and who is who
I think it might have been a great story but it was as often as not confusing who was who. It probably would have been better as a film rather than a book. It's a shame to rate it as I have but I simply couldn't follow the storyline. Sorry.

The change in characters voices is as good as
I was confused a lot of the time as to the meaning of the storyline and also about which character they were talking about at times, but persevered and got there in the end. I did have to keep listening over and over to completely get it

Fantastic
I love Marion Keys but this is definitely my favourite story of hers. Full of every human emotion, some dark moments but also with Marion's humour. A fantastic story.

Took a while to get into
Marian Keyes books are a bit of a guilty pleasure for me so I’ve gone through quite a few. This one was a bit harder to get into and understand what was going on, but got there in the end and thoroughly enjoyed it
