This book felt disjointed and like it didn't quite come together. The tension felt like it came in strange places. It was a book that couldn't decide if it wanted to be a comedy, a romance, commentary on addiction and grief or a family drama. And this meant some of the characters felt like they lacked depth and it was difficult to understand their motivations. 

As always with Marian Keyes, the vignettes and some of the scenes are absolutely brilliant and both poignant and hilarious.  For me, the overall structure and lack of character depth left this as an  average read for me.
