Love how Keyes addresses so many aspects of life with a touch of humour! McMahon does do a fab job of reading but I prefer Keyes voice if I were to choose.

Fan of author reading her books but this narrator is very good

I forgot just how entertaining a storyteller Marian Keyes is. When a book can make you laugh out loud or bring a tear to your eyes, it really is time well spent and it was.

Thoroughly entertaining

Such an emotional story. From the start, Marian Keyes does such a great job of wrapping the reader/listener in the emotional turmoil of the breakdown of a loving, but now complacent, marriage. My heart was breaking alongside Amy and Hugh.

The story is well thought out and described, as all of Marian Keys books.
The storyteller does such a great job with her voice to help differentiate the characters and express different emotions.

Another great story from Keys & wonderfully narrated

A bit dreary for Ms. Keyes - not many laugh-till-you-cry moments. The narrator's attempts at male voices was quite cringe-worthy.

Not my favorite Marian Keyes
