Description
Keyes is a powerhouse. My Favourite Mistake is not just a fizzy romantic comedy, but also a piece of social commentary. Her protagonist’s voice is crystal cut with observations about gentrification, sexism and an economic system that tells women they are nothing without expensive serums and Peloton machines

Unbelievable . . . so much talent
What heaven . . . wish it could go on forever
Warmhearted and deftly plotted page-turner. A celebration of kindness: that of family and friends
You are all in for a treat. My Favourite Mistake is by turns hilarious and heart-breaking, with a very satisfying mystery at the heart of it too
Keyes’s prose whisks you through her tales — she has an instantly endearing turn of phrase and an acute sense of comic timing
The biggest treat. I've laughed, I've blushed and I've cried. How does Marian do it? Just a beautiful, hopeful story
Funny and moving and very sexy
Unbelievable…so much talent
Explodes with joyful humanity on every page
Funny, warm, pacy, honest and outrageous
I raced through My Favourite Mistake. I was pulled in by the story, held by the authenticity of the characters and so seen by Marian’s portrayal of women in all their complex flaws. Her total lack of sentimentality and sharp humour sealed the deal. How lucky we are to have Marian Keyes! This a fantastic book. Hugely entertaining, moving, hilarious and just so refreshingly honest on women in middle age. I adored it
A beguiling blend of hijinks, heartbreak and happiness
My Favourite Mistake is brilliant – the characters are so brutally honest, vulnerable, funny and flawed. I loved it
We love Marian for her humour, relatable style and wisdom - all of which are present here. A big-hearted read full of big feelings
Funny, heart-breaking and wise. Adored it
A great, big mystery romance that will make you laugh on every page. A marvel
Furiously funny and stealthily profound. There’s so much depth, but reading it made me feel happier and lighter than I have in ages – it’s sexy, smart, wise, touching and fun
A great read from this much-love author
Matching trauma with humour is Keyes’s trademark. She is so good at upping the tension in will they/won’t they scenarios, keeping the characterisation rich and the jokes frequent. She somehow keeps it both light and intensely important at the same time
A joyous read from start to finish
A new Marian Keyes book is always something to savour, especially when it features the Walshes. Hilarious, warm and very moving
A gorgeous, gorgeous novel - devastating and hilarious in turn, warm and wise and full of surprises and welcome familiar faces. Marian Keyes at her inimitable best
A big-hearted read full of big feelings, humour, relatable style and life-affirming wisdom. We'd expect nothing less from this much-loved writer'
A new Marian Keyes novel is always a special treat, especially when we are reunited with the Walsh family
No one does the minutiae of life like Keyes
Profoundly in touch with sadness and vulnerability. If there's a message, it's that we must forgive one another for past mistakes and be less brutal towards our lost, scatty younger selves
Another classic read from Marian Keyes – we loved!
PRAISE FOR MARIAN KEYES
Delightfully funny
No other author marries heartbreak and hilarity so seamlessly
Her particular gift is the ability to settle the reader into a comfortable seat, then carry them to the darkest places; to make serious things funny - and moving
Funny, heartbreaking and so wise
Perfection
Sensitive, funny, wonderful, immensely touching
Keyes at her best: capturing everyday voices with humour and empathy with writing that you'll devour in a weekend. Just pure and simple joy
Magnificently messy lives, brilliantly untangled. Funny, tender and completely absorbing!
Warm, witty and wise - a joy to read
