My Favorite Mistake

De: Marian Keyes

Narrado por: Marian Keyes

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 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. Newsflash: 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 checkered history. Never mind what might have been.
Because no matter how far you go, your mistakes will still be waiting for you.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Keyes is a powerhouse. My Favorite 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." —The Sunday Times

"Warm-hearted and deftly plotted page-turner. A celebration of kindness: that of family and friends." –Sunday Telegraph

"Keyes’s prose whisks you through her tales—she has an instantly endearing turn of phrase and an acute sense of comic timing." —The Times

"What heaven…wish it could go on forever." —Nigella Lawson

"You are all in for a treat. My Favorite Mistake is by turns hilarious and heart-breaking, with a very satisfying mystery at the heart of it too." —Elly Griffiths, author of The Last Remains and The Great Deceiver

Old friends

I love these sisters and their shenanigans. It is like catching up with old friends.

A wonderful tale of love and friendship

Marian Keyes has done it again. A fantastic tale of the Walsh sisters, this one focusing on the shy Anna. This delightful read is fun, thoughtful and borderline serious. You can't go wrong with choosing this for a vacation or book club pick. If you haven't read the others in the Walsh saga then you are missing out!

Just as great as the other!

I love to unwind with Keyes books! I’ve read them all. Thanks for another great read!

LOVED IT

I LOVED being back with the Walsh family and Narky Joey! Thrilled that Marian Keyes narrated! Wonderful❤️

Magnificent

Marian Keyes has written another stellar novel. The narration, also provided by Keyes, is as good as it gets. Excellent story, entertaining and meaningful. I love the Walsh sisters.

A bit hard to follow

It was hard for me to decipher which character was speaking. The dictation in the readers voice was not as specific as I would've liked

Love

So much love and laughter I love the Walsh family, I never feel lonely. Thank you!

amazing character development

Keys doesn't disappoint! Hearing about characters from previous books as older women feels like catching up with old friends. couldn't recommend more!

My favorite Walsh Family Book

I loved everything about this book from the narration, the plot, the detail, all of it. I've enjoyed every book in this series so far but this is the best.

She, reading her own work, is priceless. Emphasis where intended drives the story perfectly.

I love this author! Funny, serious and always real. All of her books are “ah!” Stories! Well done!
