Anybody Out There? - Marian Keyes
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we're looking for books published in the last year or so that are easy reads, something uplifting to take to a sunny beach, or to pick up in a quiet moment at home (should you be lucky enough to have one of those). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

Marian Keyes delivers again with a solid storyline filled with laughter and tears.
I've read most, if not all of her books and, while the theme of this one is a little depressing, it is balanced with her sensitive lightheartedness.
A definite recommend, although not her absolute best - but that's relative, as she's streets ahead of most chicklit writers.

I loved this too, although I love all of Marian Keyes novels, so I'm pretty bias.

I picked up this book at a time I wasn't feeling too good about everything in life. The book brought me to tears, it made me laugh out loud (yes even when sitting on a park bench on my own), it had a lovely ending. It is a totally "feel good" book.
It is about a woman and her trials and tribulations in finding a partner and eventually how she learns to cope with the death of her new husband.
Heart warming. Made me feel 200% better with my life.
