Summary
Lucy Sullivan is 26 and living it up (and occasionally down) in London.
Hers is a life of quiet, undisciplined desperation. But when she and three friends visit a psychic for a bit of fun and the woman's predictions start coming true, Lucy is horrified. For the fortune-teller insisted she'd soon be married - within the year, in fact.Not only does Lucy not have a boyfriend, but the chances of getting one are looking slim.
Between the bottles of wine, antidepressants and her addiction to self-help books, she's not quite ready to walk, or even stumble, down the aisle sober. Is Lucy's fate really written in the stars? Or will she finally take control of her own destiny?

"When it comes to writing page-turners that put a smile on your face and make you think, Keyes is in a class of her own." (Daily Express)

Not my favourite
I found the characters quite shallow and unlikeable. I thought the narrator did a good job but not sure if her interpretation of the characters matched the author‘s intention. Some of the humour hasn’t aged well, I think, such as the unchallenged fat shaming for example.

Not bad
Not bad, not as good as her others. Still enjoyable if a bit dated, a bit slow, and a bit predictable.

Amusing
I have to say, not my favorite of her books but entertaining nonetheless. I do like how she always makes the other characters part of the story, here that is still true

slow start but improved
I found the beginning of the book quite slow and annoying. It spent too long going on about the fortune tellers prediction and made a bit of a meal of everyone's over the top reaction to it. However, the book definitely improved after the start. Lucy is deeply frustrating and I spent my time despairing of her, but I think we all know a Lucy and the character was very authentic. Overall I really enjoyed my experience of this book.

Not awful but not far off
The narrator was awful, definitely the worst I’ve ever heard and nearly made me give up. The story a predictable one, not a bad thing I enjoy a light hearted easy read from time to time. The fat shaming was cringeworthy. This is the first Marian Keyes I’ve read and probably the last.

Narrator Amy McAllister is Horrific
So the story was written back in the early 90s, and we have to give it a pass on some of the less savory aspects as viewed through today’s lens. But as all Marianne Kies novels it is entertaining and generally not terrible. The killer of this audible book is Amy McAllister‘s narration. She is the worst it is horrible! She kills the book with her irritating narration. I don’t know how this got through editing.

Don’t underestimate Marian Keyes
Marian Keyes writes books which are funny and light in places. The contrast, then, when she incorporates serious life experiences into her work - alcoholism, depression, abusive relationships ... to name but a few - packs a punch. But her work is never heavy, or at least not for long. This creates impact, substance, good storylines and humour all rolled into one.
This book is narrated by an author with a great repertoire of accents that allow you to instantly identify the character who is speaking and create a mental image of them too.

This story does not age well
I remember reading this in the early 2000s as a teenager and not really thinking twice about the story, but I couldn’t finish this version. I heartily dislike the main character Lucy and found I just wanted her to stop whinging and grow a backbone. Almost every character in this book is unpleasant, has limited depth, and all the female characters narratives are all surface level gold-digger, dumb yourself down type characters. This was made worse by the awful accents the narrator put on. Personal reflection is that it hasn’t aged well and I couldn’t stomach it.

Awful narrator
I’ve given three stars to ‘overall’ and ‘story’ as I can’t give it a true review as I couldn’t finish the book. Unfortunately the narrator was so awful I had to stop listening as I couldn’t bear the shouting, aggressive way in which it was being read. Really disappointing as I love Mariam Keyes books which are usually so easy to listen to.
