I’m a huge fan of Marian Keyes and yet, since I began blogging, I really haven’t read her enough. I’m delighted to rectify that error by sharing details of my latest My Weekly magazine online review which is Marian’s latest book My Favourite Mistake.
Published by Penguin’s imprint Michael Joseph on 11th April 2024 My Favourite Mistake is available for purchase through the links here.
My Favourite Mistake
Anna has just lost her taste for the Big Apple…
She 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.
Trading a minor midlife crisis for a major life event, she switches the skyscrapers of Manhattan for the tiny Irish town of Maumtully (population 1,217), helping old friends Brigit and Colm set up a luxury coastal retreat.
Tougher than it sounds. Newflash: the locals hate the idea. 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.
There’s just one fly in the ointment – old flame Joey Armstrong.
He’s going to be her wingman.
Never mind their chequered history. Never mind what might have been.
Because no matter how far you go, your mistakes will still be waiting for you . . .
My Review of My Favourite Mistake
My full review of My Favourite Mistake can be found on the My Weekly website here.
However, here I can say that My Favourite Mistake is Marian Keyes at the top of her game, being filled with warmth, wit and a wise insight into humanity that made me laugh and cry – often at the same time. I absolutely loved it. It might be my favourite Marian Keyes book. As Marian herself might say, it’s fabliss!
