About this listen

June the first, a bright summer's evening, a Monday....

And into the busy, bustling homes at 66 Star Street slips, unseen, a mysterious visitor. As the couples, flatmates and repentant singletons of No. 66 fall in and out of love, clutch at and drop secrets, laugh, cry and simply try to live, no one suspects the visitor patiently waiting in the wings.

For soon, as the light slowly fades to dark, everything is going to change....

I love Marion Keys but this is definitely my favourite story of hers. Full of every human emotion, some dark moments but also with Marion's humour. A fantastic story.

Fantastic

Marian Keyes books are a bit of a guilty pleasure for me so I’ve gone through quite a few. This one was a bit harder to get into and understand what was going on, but got there in the end and thoroughly enjoyed it

Took a while to get into

I wasn’t sure about it, in the beginning. I thought it might be shallow. But I really got in to it, as it unfolded.
I enjoyed all the characters, and the in and out entwining of their daily life.
The epilogue was a highlight. The narrator was perfect. ( Sometimes it’s the narrator who puts me right off). I hope my next book grabs me!

Good story

Not my usual sort of book, but it was well read and very funny.
Took a while to get my head around all the characters, but it didn’t stop me reading to the end.

A very amusing book!

The narrator is the most fantastic story teller. I felt like I'd been swallowed up into this delightful and humorous story hook line and sinker, thanks

Irish love Blarny!!

Loved it. It made me laugh out loud, while also telling a fabulous, moving tale. Brava Marian, gorgeous and brilliant as always. Guaranteed!

Funny, lively, interesting

An easy listen, despite the fact that the narrator pronounced one of the main character’s name wrong for the whole book. Fionn is not pronounced Fi -on.

Entertaining, an easy listen

Not sure what to make of this book. I think I enjoyed it but wouldn’t recommend it.

Unusual story line.
