Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Anna has just lost her taste for the Big Apple…

She 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.

Trading a minor midlife crisis for 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. Newflash: 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 chequered history. Never mind what might have been.

Because no matter how far you go, your mistakes will still be waiting for you . . .

Furiously funny and stealthily profound. There’s so much depth, but reading it made me feel happier and lighter than I have in ages – it’s sexy, smart, wise, touching and fun' Daisy Buchanan

'Keyes’s is so good at upping the tension in will they/won’t they scenarios, keeping the characterisation rich and the jokes frequent. She somehow keeps it both light and intensely important at the same time' i

Marian at her best

Honestly at the start I wasn’t so sure but this settled into a great story. Very typical of the walsh family stories and not unlike the Rachel & Luke story in ways but I liked this one centred around friendship and romance. Reading Marian’s books is like hanging out with an old friend!

Love It!

Loved following the Walsh family again. After reading all the books I feel like I know them all. Love Mammy Walsh- just finished her hilarious A-Z.
I like how everyone has ended up back in Ireland, great descriptions of the town and the quirky residents.
A lovely read

Excellent story! Excellent narration!

I felt like I was in this story as I listened to Marian read it. Not only is she an excellent writer but also an amazing story teller.

did not like the narration.

the narration had no depth; characters were one dimensional which is shame, as story was fun and characters would have been more likeable had book been read by an actor. nearly returned it, but story was good enough to keep me listening.

Anna, my favourite of the Walshes

I loved it all! Another stunner from Marian Keyes ❤️ Anna is such a wonderful character. Reading Anybody Out There had me in bits it was so beautiful. I’m so happy we got to read more of her story!
