About this listen

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?

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.

Takes some getting used to

the accents were quite hard to get used to listening and the story is pretty predictable but I still enjoyed listening to it.

Irritating narrator

I really enjoyed the story, although it was a little long, but the narrator's portrayal of Lucy Sullivan was diabolical. I kept wanting to tell her to pronounce her words properly. Such a shame.

Great story but painful listen.

Narrator basically screams the whole story, it’s painful. The story is predictable but well told and fun. The whole gamut of female Catholic guilt is perfectly dramatized.
