Absolutely loved it. Keyes is also nuanced in her approach to men and what it means to show up as a partner, spouse, and father when they are walking their own thin lines. Marian Keyes never fails to disappoint me with her books, and this one is no exception. I live in the US but heard her on a BBC Radio 4 podcast talking about the book, and it sounded delightful.

I was grateful to find a book that presented “grown ups” that ranged from early 20s and well past late 40s. Almost every one of her characters is loveable and infuriating in equal measure, much like the people we would chose for our friends and family. I’ve read all of MK’s books, enjoyed them all, but this was probably my favourite to date.

Marian Keyes always makes sure that her humour is in the book, and there are some ridiculous bits that made me laugh out loud while reading but also some serious parts that reminded you about life and the things other people have to deal with. I do agree that it was a bit challenging to take on board all the characters, but just read the first bit twice then you’ll be fine, and it’s so worth it. I had not had the pleasure of reading Marian Keyes until I discovered Grown Ups.
