I loved all the other books Marian Keyes has written, especially those about the Walsh family sisters, but I’m so disappointed with this book. It’s just boring. Anyone else?

I was so excited, bought the hardback. Can't finish it

Just so disappointed with it. The others are all fab! Was so pleased she’d written a sequel. Halfway through it and want to give up. Nothing makes me want to pick it up and keep reading.

Having struggled with her last couple of books, I flew through this and loved it!

Same here. I listened to it and thought maybe that was the problem but it seems others also disliked it. I found it boring, and too long. Disappointed because I love MK, and Rachel's Holiday was the first I ever read, and I loved it.

I haven’t been able to finish it. I will go back to it but I also found it boring. Normally Marian Keyes books are a real treat that I can’t put down so I’m relieved I wasn’t the only one who didn’t like it.

Oh I didn't like it at all. I was really disappointed. Read ¼, skipped to the end, flicked through the middle. Not her best at all.
I also think it should come with a serious trigger warning as there's a seriously traumatic episode that took me completely unaware
