About this listen

June the first, a bright summer's evening, a Monday....

And into the busy, bustling homes at 66 Star Street slips, unseen, a mysterious visitor. As the couples, flatmates and repentant singletons of No. 66 fall in and out of love, clutch at and drop secrets, laugh, cry and simply try to live, no one suspects the visitor patiently waiting in the wings.

For soon, as the light slowly fades to dark, everything is going to change....

Loved the story - hard to remember all the characters at the beginning, but soon got the hang of it. Good mixture of funny and serious moments.

I already love Marian Keyes work but this story touched me extra especially. I think I loved Jemima the most. Bless her heart.

This is an unusual romantic comedic novel that is wonderfully read. It is fun, light and yet still deals with difficult social issues. It has an uplifting feel good ending and is Marian Keyes at her best

Whimsical fun story

Marian Keyes doesn’t disappoint, another great tale.
The only thing that bothered me slightly was the narrator’s ‘male’ voices; but otherwise five stars!

A lovely tale

I tend to find Marian Keynes books a little predictable but this one really surprised me. Good story, great delivery, just not really my genre.

A bit cutesy for me but well done
