Publisher's Summary

Lisa Edwards, top London magazine editor, has been fantasizing about promotion to New York. Instead, she's asked to launch a new women's magazine in Dublin. She thinks nothing could be worse - until she meets her new staff. They're friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic - in other words, they wouldn't last two minutes in London!

As Lisa struggles to find her feet in this alien world of no back-stabbing or bitchiness, her neurotic assistant, Ashling, is also in trouble. She's just too nice for journalism, and it shows. Who better to help them both than their handsome-but-hassled boss, Jack Devine? Always allowing for the fact that his moodiness could give Heathcliff a run for his money, of course.

Great story, needs a better narrator

I love this author and have read this book before. Given the story is set in Ireland I feel the narrator should actually be able to imitate an Irish accent or be Irish. It was very poor and uncomfortable to listen to. Unfortunately would not recommend by this narrator for an Irish book.

Fantastic characters great story

Excellent story with really interesting complex characters. Serious themes but loads of hilarious moments. At the risk of sounding prudish i found some of the sex scenes a bit over the top. But everything else was fine. Great reading by Juanita as usual.

Dreadful Irish accents

How the narrator got the job to read this book is beyond me. I would’ve stopped listening the second I heard the shocking accents, but I’d paid for the book so had to persevere. The story was fine.

Great book

Great book but wish it was read by Marian Keyes herself. Most of the characters are Irish and didn’t sound right with an English accent.

Very Poor Narration

I love Marion Keys books and have listened to most of them on audio books. I’m sorry but I couldn’t stand listening to this narrator. I am Irish born and struggled to listen to the awful Irish accent, all the Irish characters become a blur as the accent never changed from one character to the next. Would it be possible to re-record with a different narrator?

Meh

I expected more from this book, as I really enjoyed the Walsh family series. Perhaps it was the narration, or perhaps the characters, but it was all a bit boring and predictable. A little bit disappointed.

Why do the Dublin characters have welsh/English accents?

The Narration really lets this book down the accents are terrible - can’t focus on content!

Weird Irish accents

Love this book but couldn’t get past the variety of over the top, weird Irish accents from the narrater.
