This was such a great, engaging read, I could barely put it down! Highly recommend, particularly if you haven't read Marian Keyes before - this is a great one to start with.

While it was difficult to follow the many different characters at times, this was still a really fun, clever and touching read. Really enjoyable, and would recommend.

At first I was a little daunted by how long this book is at it is not my usual type of read but I needn't have been. I loved completely immersing myself in the characters worlds and if anything if I could have handled it being even longer! The way the author describes how emotions really feel blew me away and although of course the story is very dramatic and a little far fetched it still felt very real. You cared for or loathed the individuals in the group of characters very easily and are desperate to keep reading to see what happens to them all.

I found this book quite hard to get into. Which surprised me as I have read other titles from this author and really enjoyed them.

I love books by Marian Keyes, but I just could not get into this one. There were too many characters, and I just could not connect with any of them. I think the author had some good ideas, but I believe that they failed in translation of the story.

A delightful and fun read, which treats family secrets and other serious issues with a tender and warm touch. Was the perfect distraction - I devoured it in one weekend.
