About this listen

An achingly funny story from the author of the best-selling You Had Me at Hello.

When Edie is caught in a compromising position at her colleagues' wedding, all the blame falls on her - turns out that personal popularity in the office is not that different from your school days. Shamed online and ostracised by everyone she knows, Edie's forced to take an extended sabbatical - ghostwriting an autobiography for hot new acting talent, Elliot Owen. Easy, right?

Wrong. Banished back to her hometown of Nottingham, Edie is not only dealing with a man who probably hasn't heard the word no in a decade but also suffering an excruciating regression to her teenage years as she moves back in with her widowed father and judgy, layabout sister.

When the world is asking who you are, it's hard not to question yourself. Who's that girl? Edie is ready to find out.

I loved it although did find this character a little frustrating at times. What I really wish is that Mhairi did epilogues or a sequel...

another great story

There was more to this book than I anticipated. I bought it because it sounded like a Marian Keyes type read - fun and easy. And it was that. But it also showed the impact of long held tragedy and how that shaped the main character’s life and experience, including her self worth. The end was massively disappointing, the author having done such a great job of getting me completely invested in the relationship!

Quite a long story. That waffled on a bit in the middle. Then didn't finish...

Ending disappointing

Literally laugh-out-loud funny and even made me cry. Sure, the storyline is a bit over-the-top maybe, and the narrator had different takes on punctuation than I would have reading it myself, but honestly, i loved it and definitely recommend it.

Brilliant

This book will make you laugh out loud. Great narration, heart warming story with a twist at the end that will take you right up to the final line.

Humorous, Witty, A Great Read

This book is funny without trying too hard. I like the fact that Edie is in her mid-30s and doesn’t have the “I’m single and life is over” angst that characters of a similar age have in some chick-lit novels.

I initially avoided this one because I didn’t like the premise of Edie kissing a groom at his wedding, but the book brilliantly deals with the shame cast upon Edie for an incident that she didn’t initiate.

The narrator is generally great, except for a few instances where she accidentally refers to Elliot instead of Edie. I noticed it more than once, and it kind of momentarily takes you out of the story. Would still recommend though.

Pleasant, easy listen. Didn’t grip me like some of the authors other books. The ending is rather abrupt.

I have become a fast fan of Mhairi McFarlane, she has a beautiful way of explaining a feeling. I personally think the term ‘input overload’ will stick with me every time I look at my phone.
I’ll be looking for more of her work.
The narrator, Cassie, was great also and a perfect fit for this book.

Mhairi delivers again
