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?
Review:
This is book 7 in the Walsh Family series, but the first I have read, but it is ok, as it definitely functions as a stand alone. What do you do when what you thought was your life, throws you some curve balls? For Anna, it was time to go home, lick her wounds and see where life would take her. Only life has a funny way of bringing you something not what you were expecting, nor wanting. For Anna, this is a man from her past, and with him comes pain from loosing her best friend. As she tries to solve the issues for the resort, she soon realizes what she now wants isn't what she thought, and just maybe, there may be changes in her heart too. Part rom-com, part chick-lit, and a book with a whole lot of heart, this is one that will sing to your soul.
Each book in the series features one of the members of the family, but each is also a stand alone book. I'll be going back, as I have time, and starting the series from the beginning!
