Available to pre-order now! The hilarious, heartwarming new novel from #1 internationally bestselling author Marian Keyes. Anna has just lost her taste for the big apple . . . Anna has a life to envy. An apartment in New York. A well-meaning (too well-meaning?) partner. And a high-flying job in beauty PR. Who wouldn't want all that? Anna—it turns out. Turning a minor mid-life crisis into a major life event she packs it in, heads back to Ireland, and gets a PR job for a super-high-end coastal retreat. Tougher than it sounds. Newsflash: the locals hate it. So much so, there have been threats—and violence. Anna, however, worked in the beauty industry. There's no ugliness she hasn't seen. No wrinkle she can't smooth over. Anna's got this. Until she discovers that leaving New York doesn't mean escaping her mistakes. Once upon a time she'd had a best friend. Once upon a time she'd loved a man. Now she has neither. And now she has to face them. We all make mistakes. But when do we stop making the same one over and over again? Praise for Marian Keyes "Keyes is the real thing." —The Globe and Mail "Everything this woman touches turns to comic gold." —Cosmopolitan "Mercilessly funny." —The Times (UK) "Clever, hilarious. . . . Gloriously funny." —Sunday Times "Turn[s] out page-turner after page-turner." —ELLE Canada “Hands down the funniest writer in the business.” —The Irish Times “Marian Keyes's novels are warm, witty and wise. Even when she's writing about hard-hitting subjects like divorce, depression or alcoholism, she's never preachy or pious.” —The Independent

I was a little apprehensive going into this one, I enjoyed ‘Rachel's Holiday' but it was difficult in some parts.
Read this on holidays and fell in love though. I think Keyes' writing style has only improved over the years as I really enjoyed this. I found it an interesting and enjoyable read and would say i preferred it to the first! After this I would be interested in trying some more of Marians work, if it's anything like this then I think I would really love them.
This book just makes me feel all my feelings. The highs are high and the lows are low. I love Rachel and her story every step of the way. I listened to the audiobook and found myself wanting to turn down the speed just so I could prolong the experience.
I really like Rachel's Holiday (and it's absolutely needed to appreciate this book), but Again Rachel is so satisfying. It gives me a lovely feeling of nostalgia from start to finish.
