About this listen

You'll be wincing in recognition and scratching your head in incredulity, but like Marian herself you won't be able to stop laughing at the sheer delightful absurdity that is modern life - because each and every one of us is clearly making it up as we go along. She has wonderful and tickling words of advice for those fast approaching 50.

Critic Reviews

"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)

Marian Keyes is funny, insightful, and disarmingly honest about her own inadequacies and struggles with mental health difficulties. She is a great commentator on people and life, and is laugh-out-loud funny! I could have heard a bit less about how awed she is by celebrities, but overall thoroughly recommended, particularly as an audiobook as the narrator brings it to life with her wonderful Irish accent.

Loved it!

it was interesting hearing more stories about Marion. this collection makes you realise how fertile her imagination is and nice to learn more of her family and life. I would recommend for a fan like myself.

I love listening to Marian Keys books Aoife's Irish accent is an added bonus. This book was more snippets of stories so it's like having a one way conversation with a humorous friend. You can put it down and pick it up without having to concentrate on a storyline. Very enjoyable.

Like listening to a very interesting friend

I’m a big fan of her Under the Duvet series and of her books but this one was not as rich and entertaining as previous. Still, kept me interested to the end, if only for the nice and light chatter in a delightful accent.

Not her best work but entertaining

Marian Keyes never fails to make me laugh. A selection of short stories told only the way Marian can. Just the light-hearted entertainment needed to get you through corona virus lockdown.

Hilariously funny!!

loved this book, I thought it would be good but turned it out was great, excellent actually. I had no idea Marian was such a great person, and so similar to me in fact that I thought sometimes it was me reading my diary. great little stories, funny and witty - I think I've become one of her biggest fans. brilliant, simple, perfect little book

unexpectedly good, in a good way!

I love Marian Keyes but I just couldn’t get into this book. The narrator is lovely to listen to but sadly I wasn’t able to continue.

I wanted to love this book
