Summary
On the day she gives birth to her first child, Claire Walsh's husband James tells her he's been having an affair and now's the right time to leave her. Right for who exactly? Exhausted, tearful and a tiny bit furious, Claire can't think of what to do. So she follows the instincts of all self-respecting adults in tricky situations. . . and runs home to Mum and Dad.

But while her parents are sympathetic, Claire's younger sisters are less so. Helen wants to share the new toy (baby Kate), while Anna is too busy having out-of-her-head experiences. So when James slips back into her life, desperate to put things right, Claire doesn't know whether to take a chance on a past she feared she'd lost forever or face an uncertain future of her own. But is she as on her own as she really believes?

Liked the story some of family relationships a bit predictable. Not so sure about narrator - voice seemed a bit posh for the character to me

Very entertaining. Clare seems to have a personality change half way through the book when she talks to her husband which was very odd and frustrating. Also seems to be a lot of drink driving in this novel and drinking whilst breastfeeding ! Put all that aside it’s a fun listen.

I really enjoyed the characters, the story and the narrator. There is some swearing and sex. I didn’t love the way the narrator did Adam’s voice, but that’s not a huge deal. I know that’s hard to do. I enjoyed the humor throughout the book and laughed out loud several times. It was a good book and I look forward to reading more Marian Keyes books

Marian Keyes is one of my all time favourite authors. Thoroughly enjoyed going back to her first story of the Walsh family.
