Minnie Cooper knows two things with certainty: that her New Year's birthday is unlucky, and that it's all because of Quinn Hamilton, a man she's never met. Their mothers gave birth to them at the same hospital just after midnight on New Year's Day, but Quinn was given the cash prize for being the first baby born in London in 1990 - and the name Minnie was meant to have, as well. With luck like that, it's no wonder each of her birthdays has been more of a disaster than the one before.

Publisher's Summary
The warm, sparkling first novel from Melanie Murphy, author of nonfiction best seller Fully Functioning Human (Almost) is full of heart, humour and magic.
Erin is about to turn 30, and her life is definitely not where she thought it would be. She hates her job, she's jealous of her perfect flatmate - and she has just called off her wedding.
A trip home to Ireland to celebrate her birthday with her beloved grandmother is exactly what Erin needs, and she's spent days preparing herself to break the news about her broken engagement.
What she's not prepared for is the gift she receives: a secret family heirloom that will change everything.
Could this be the answer Erin has been looking for - the key to the happy life she's always dreamed of? Only time will tell....

Loved it! *spoilers*
I very much enjoyed ‘If Only’.
I appreciate a story told from this modern perspective that people in my generation are not settling as often as generations before us and are often lost at an age when our parents and grandparents had long since established their lives. We all feel that pressure that we’re “behind” in life and it’s refreshing to see that explored.
I also really liked how honest Erin’s character was. It’s rare that we get to see all the dark and typical thoughts that cross peoples minds in real life and it was done so naturally. We got to see her stupid humor and paranoia and quirks and insecurities and moments of being selfish or being a bad friend and it made her feel so alive. We also got to see her fight the negative parts of herself and learn from them. We got to see her use the necklace in ways that made her appreciate her real life and trust herself. It was such a great thing to see her learn to trust herself.
I was really into the seemingly mundane day-to-day situations and conversations between her and her friends that, when you looked below he surface, is meaningful without being as obvious. It truly just felt so real that I connected with it in a way different then most stories.
I also loved the evolution of ErIn’s character, the foundation of friendship, the effect of family, the serious topics represented without it being the “theme” of the story, the realistic timeline of her falling for Finn.
Such a lovely story! It felt so warm. One of my favorite movies is “About time” and this book gives me the same feelings. Brilliant job to Melanie Murphy!

awful ‘gay best friend’ character
The writing was a bit schoolgirlish and rambly. The main character’s best friend is this dreadful character and a horrible LGBT stereotype.
The narrator was quite enjoyable to listen to - I’m not sure I could have stuck the book if I had been reading it rather than listening to it

Just okay
The idea for the story was good. However, I really struggle to finish listening. Not gripping or suspenseful. The best friend character was awful and his voiced accent grated. The main character was unlikable, unrealistic and didn't act like the adult she was meant to be.

A beautiful & feel good read!
I loved this book by Melanie Murphy! I felt like I had lots of things in common with Erin with judging people too quickly, having slef-esteem issues & the bond that she had with her gran! I was in tears with their final reunion in the last chapter! It made me think about the 'what ifs' in my life and it reminded me that I'm happy living in the present. Making sure to have no regrets! Thank you Mel for sharing this wonderful story x

This book gives me the tinglies
I couldn't stop! I listened to the audio book while reading the actual book. I cried, laughter and cried again. I think anyone could relate to the main character. Not having a clue where your going in life is so stressful and I think we all wish we could take a look at what certain situations would be like if we did x and y.
I truly fell in love with this book. definitely something I would read again.

Really struggled with this.
Firstly, I have to mention the narrator. Her Irish accent was lovely and I felt so at home with it (Erin's grandmother reminded me of older Lorraine Mcfly from 'Back to the future' and this is what I pictured when listening) but all other accents made me cringe so hard. Reed almost made me spit with disgust when ever he spoke. Everyone felt so up them selves and it really took away from the story. Maybe I would have enjoyed the story much more if it had a different narrator. Don't get me wrong, the voices she could do were very good but potentially just not right for this book.
Secondly, I felt hurried along in the story, it was rushed and I looked back sometimes and thought "what does the main character even look like?" my all time favourite authors so clearly describe the characters that I envision them from the get go; I felt like I only knew what Erin looked like after the second half.
The ending was not good. I was left feeling disappointed and asking "aye? its finished?"
Unfortunately, won't be eager to read anything else from this author.

Great story… not so great audiobook
The storyline was phenomenal; covering topics that are taboo but in such a delicate and sensitive manner. Being a ‘northerner’, the northern accents portrayed in the book are really quite degrading. They are not authentic, nor realistic, which is such a shame considering the eloquence of this tale

Amazing!
Such a different book, I’ve been reading a lot of auto biography’s at the moment and whenever I want fiction I always resort back to Harry Potter. It was so nice to listen to something new and completely escape! With just enough mystery I found I was hooked. I became emotionally invested in all the characters and it was very relatable. I think we’ve all question “If only” in our lives and it made a lot of food for thought. Can’t wait for Melanie’s next book Glass Houses 💚

I loved the voice for this book she gave it such character and I believed the characters were actually people which of course is to do with Melanie's writer along side Amy's reading but I gave it a two for overall because even though I loved the story and the characters I can't get over how much I hated the main character it almost made me stop listening to be honest which is such a shame otherwise this would be a story I'd go back to
