At 29, Claire is full of the joys of life - that is, until her husband leaves her on the day she gives birth to her baby. With a broken heart, a beautiful newly born and an expanding mirror image, she decides to visit her eccentric family in Dublin. There she starts to feel better. So much better, in fact, that James is in for a surprise when he decides to slither back into her life.

The middle is terribly boring. But overall the book is excellent. A little unrealistic at times and occasionally funny.

Good, but should be shorter

I enjoyed this performance in its entirety. The characters and storyline were relatable. Showing the reader that sometimes we need to just add some sugar and make lemonade.

Cute, comical and adorably witty.

Light and predictable easy listening. No concentration needed so good for unwinding lighthearted and relaxing.

Very light listening

Well…I did like the
story AND I was also so annoyed at the constant stream of rambling consciousness by the main character. It made the plot move so painstakingly slow. There were times that I literally yelled at the book to GET TO THE POINT! it just was unbearable at times. So my rating is 3-3.5 stars. I found this author because I was looking for authors similar to MAEVE Binchy. I don’t know if I would say this author actually is. I want to give another one of her books a try but someone PLEASE tell me that this is not her writing style with the constant thought musings. Just oh my gosh. I almost couldn’t take one more second. If it wasn’t for the fact that I got invested in the story I don’t know I don’t know if I could have finished it. Also and this is just the Way it was read But the narrator sounded strong and confident and whenever she did the voice of the main character responding with “no”
Or “ok” it was just so child like and meek and made her sound so weak. I found that really annoying.

3-3.5 stars

Narcissistic husband. Realizing she can’t control life. Letting go and reaping the benefits. So funny

I like the imperfections of the characters and the families and yet they were lovable

The humor and humanness

It is an easy, fun story.
Some of the characters are a bit over the top but it's part of the charm.
I did find the story a bit dragged out; the pace is very slow.
Good narration.

Enjoyable!

A lot of funny moments but for the love of God there was so much rambling thoughts it became too much to deal with.

Good story but too much rambling
