I love me some Marian Keyes. This book was most like This Charming Man - a good read with some light points, but shadowed by heavier ones. The book starts as a countdown of days and is narrated by a type of spirit. Much like TCM, you didn't really know exactly what was going on with the characters until a good couple hundred pages in.

The spirit winds up at 66 Starr Street, a building whose residents eventually have lives that entertwine. Lydia, the cab driver, is not very likeable. She lives with 2 Polish men and goes out of her way to make her roommates miserable. I didn't really think her backstory made up for as terrible as she was, although you could see why she was angry.

Jemima is an old woman who lives alone with her dog, until her grown foster son, Fionn comes to live with her. Somehow Fionn seems to fall instantly in love with every woman he comes into contact with.

Katie is just turning 40 and her boyfriend, Conall does not give her the respect she deserves. Her friends and family despise him and his flashiness.

Matt and Maeve are a married couple who appear to be in a boring routine in their life.

I found some of the stories of forgiveness to be a little far fetched, but I still love what Keyes has to offer.
