It's been a long time since I read a Marian Keyes novel, but I enjoyed this very much. I don't think you need to have read any of the other books to enjoy this one. The family feels real and genuine and the story was engaging, even if it didn't turn out quite like I thought it should! Some sad moments interspersed with mildly amusing ones, this is an easy read with broad appeal.

Good story but it got a little long. Could of ended 50-75 pages sooner.... sometimes you don't need the end of the hair ending, you just know it ended happy.

Will make you laugh and make you want to cry. Have loved everything I’ve read by Marian Keyes and was so glad Rachel had another book dedicated to her. Touching in so many ways, I have loved following the next chapter of Rachel’s life and just as last time I finished the book with a warm glow - can’t go wrong with a happy ending!

Engaging enough read to hold my interest. I felt it went on a bit long, and I’m not sure how I feel about the moral decision the character made in the name of “healing,” but it was an otherwise interesting story.
