About this listen

Tara, Katherine and Fintan have been best friends since they were teenagers. Now in their early thirties, they've been living it up in London for 10 years. But what have they to show for a decade of hedonism? Sure, Tara's got a boyfriend - but only because she's terrified of spending five minutes alone. Katherine, on the other hand, has a neatness fetish that won't let anyone too close to mess up her life. And Fintan? Well, he has everything. Until he learns that without your health, you've got nothing....

All three are drinking in the last chance saloon and they're about to discover that if you don't change your life, life has a way of changing you....

Love the storyline and the characters but unfortunately I must agree with others this was appalling try of imitating Irish accent. It really sounded 'oirish'. Really sad as I love MK books and this one would be a definitely come back but I guess I will rather read than listen.

Appalling narration

Great engaging storyline and likeable characters. Slightly predictable in parts but didn’t spoil my enjoyment of the book. Dealt well with some tough topics, the empathy and compassion displayed by the characters ensured that though a light hearted approach was taken it didn’t trivialise the issues. Only downside was the narration, the accents were a bit all over the place, it was sometimes hard to determine who was speaking.

Loved the story and the characters

I love Marian Keyes books. The narrator is not good at accents in this one. She butchers the Irish accent repeatedly. Its not enjoyable and takes away from the story.

Don't waste your credit.

Probably one of the best Marian Keyes books that I have listened to so far. The only downside was some of the accents, which were strange and the narrator couldn’t manage.
