Critic Reviews

Classic Keyes: owl-wise, oven-warm and very funny. Fabulous
Keyes is a powerhouse. My Favourite Mistake is not just a fizzy romantic comedy, but also a piece of social commentary. Her protagonist’s voice is crystal cut with observations about gentrification, sexism and an economic system that tells women they are nothing without expensive serums and Peloton machines
What heaven . . . wish it could go on forever (Nigella Lawson)
Warmhearted and deftly plotted page-turner. A celebration of kindness: that of family and friends
Sharp and funny
Keyes’s prose whisks you through her tales — she has an instantly endearing turn of phrase and an acute sense of comic timing
You are all in for a treat. My Favourite Mistake is by turns hilarious and heart-breaking, with a very satisfying mystery at the heart of it too (Elly Griffiths)
The biggest treat. I've laughed, I've blushed and I've cried. How does Marian do it? Just a beautiful, hopeful story (Jennie Godfrey)
Funny and moving and very sexy (Liz Nugent)
Unbelievable…so much talent (Chris Evans)

I have always enjoyed MK’s writing. Her stories & turn of phrase is worth cherishing. This book is a triumph & so good that she talks so honestly about menopause! Thanks Marian for sticking with us all these years. Bravo!

Another ripping joyful MK yarn!

I loved Marian Keyes in my 20s & thought I was too old for her now, but I was wrong! Her stories have evolved with the years too! In my early 40’s I absolutely loved this story as much as I did her earlier ones!
It was funny, relatable and had a serious story line behind it all.
Im going straight out to get my next Marian Keyes read!

Fun and serious at the same time
