Third read with my daughter, which made it that much better ❤️
If you need a laugh and you don’t mind a book dealing with dark issues, this could work for you. The audiobook is read by the author’s sister and she is fantastic. Many LOL moments.
There are dark, heavy issues here but it ends well and there is always humor, in fact, for most of the book, much more humor than darkness.
Highly recommended.

Sehr schöne Geschichte, die zwar ruhig ist, aber es dennoch in sich hat. Mir gefiel die Idee rund um den "Gast", der sich bei den Bewohnern eingeschlichen hat. Bis zum Schluss war ich mir nicht sicher, was es sich damit auf sich hat.
Der Epilog gefiel mir auch ausgesprochen gut!

I am a huge Marian Keyes fan, but found this one slightly off. I love her humour and the story lines are always interesteing, but this one was a little stale in parts. Reminds me a bit of JK Rowling... it's like nobody is making her edit anymore. That said, I still enjoyed it (too heavy to hold for long at the beach.... note to publishers stop making the print large and chapters short at the expense of making the book uncomfortable to hold!) and will read more Marian Keyes.
