a MUST read or listen

If you’re a fan of Marian Keyes, you must read/listen to this book. Fabulous characters that you become attached to. Fabulous story that comes to an amazing kaboom at a family supper. Woven carefully with individual memories and timelines. I’m not even finished but I had to encourage others to join this adventure of the Casey family. Pure fun.

My bookclub liked it more than i did....

a LOT of flipping between stories lines/characters....which was fine...I just couldn't get into it and care about the characters as much as I would have wanted....I kind of found them all sort of unlikeable...seemed long to me....and at the end i listened to it at 1.2x speed just to get through it.....

Confusing

There was some really good humour parts, but overall a lot of characters and because the narrator didn’t change her way of talking at all, it ended up pretty confusing.

Great Story about Real People with Real Struggles

It took a bit of time to sort out all the characters but once I did, they became real to me and I got caught up in their situations. I will miss them now that I've finished the book.

Great performance! So real and relatable

I couldn’t stop listening! The characters were brought to life and made you reflect on your own. Enjoy the journey this crazy family takes you on!

Such an entertaining read!!

Thank you Marian Keyes for being such a brilliant storyteller and for the development and detail of all your characters. So intimate, honest, funny, sad, relateable. Loved Grown ups!

Amazing book, amazing narration

I knew almost nothing about this author or story when I began listening to the book and honestly I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s easy to listen to, but it isn’t frivolous and it’s interesting while still being relatable. The author intertwined real life issues without you even realizing in a way that is extremely laudable.

I’m really looking forward to reading/listening to more of her work
