About this listen

Lucy Sullivan is 26 and living it up (and occasionally down) in London.

Hers is a life of quiet, undisciplined desperation. But when she and three friends visit a psychic for a bit of fun and the woman's predictions start coming true, Lucy is horrified. For the fortune-teller insisted she'd soon be married - within the year, in fact.Not only does Lucy not have a boyfriend, but the chances of getting one are looking slim.

Between the bottles of wine, antidepressants and her addiction to self-help books, she's not quite ready to walk, or even stumble, down the aisle sober. Is Lucy's fate really written in the stars? Or will she finally take control of her own destiny?

Critic Reviews

"Gloriously funny." (Sunday Times)

"When it comes to writing page-turners that put a smile on your face and make you think, Keyes is in a class of her own." (Daily Express)

Loved the story but found narration a bit off. When Amy was Daniel he sounded like he was very dumb otherwise Amy was good

Great story

I am a MK fan but there are a few things that haven’t aged well in this book. Most notably the fat jokes/depression references. There were so many cringey moments in the first few chapters that I almost stopped listening. The majority of the characters are frustrating and mostly unlikeable but I still listened to the whole book and did enjoy parts of it.

This hasn’t aged particularly well

Like others before me, I refused to quit…especially since a credit had been cashed in! I read this years ago and found it an easy read. The audio version was bit harder to take. Unfortunately the narrator wasn’t really my cup of tea, especially with male voices, which I couldn’t take seriously. The visuals I had when it was time for the guys to talk made me laugh out loud at what my imagination came up with.

I persevered….

Another great read by the author. The ending was entirely predictable but the side-stories along the way were really enjoyable and heart-tugging (especially Lucy's father and her going to live with him for a while). The narrator was absolutely fantastic and it was amazing listening to her switch between characters and accents so quickly. The Australian accent was pretty bad but it actually suited the character quite well so it wasn't too distracting.

Enjoyable listen and brilliant narration.

I was disappointed with this very long and annoying story. The Australian voice was terrible and all the men sounded stupid. I couldn’t like Lucy enough to care if she got married or not. She was unbelievably immature. If you are a fan of Marrian Keys, don’t listen to this book.

Not Keys best work

I started out excited until I realized it was old 1997 book. Worse narration ever and the characters were awful and unlikeable. 17 hours I won't get back.

I hope her new book is better.

bloody awful

Marian Keyes is a great writer and has some wonderful turns of phrase with a lot of laugh out loud witty lines. She is however, also the queen of creating extremely unlikeable and annoying characters who are very difficult to feel anything for except repulsion and anger. The lead character in this book especially makes you just want to smack her in the head as she is so pathetically stupid and pitiful.

Very unlikeable characters

I forgot what a frustrating character Lucy is. Her low self esteem, her blindness to how she gets treated. Painful at times.

OK performance but Lucy often sounded shouty and Daniel's voice made him sound like a dullard.

Not a favourite

A fun read but the “moral of the story” and how things would end up we’re really obvious right from the start. The narration was distracting with bad accents and super bad “deep voice to indicate a man is talking”. Marian Keyes is always good for a laugh with a bit of a darker twist (usually involving depression and/or alcoholism) but this is not one of her best. Go straight to the later stuff.

A bit obvious...
