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 . . .

Praise for Marian Keyes
'Delightfully funny'Daily Telegraph
Classic Keyes: owl-wise, oven-warm and very funny. Fabulous * The Times, Summer Reads 2024 *
Keyes is a powerhouse.My Favourite Mistake is not just a fizzy romantic comedy, but also a piece of social commentary. Her protagonist’s voice is crystal cut with observations about gentrification, sexism and an economic system that tells women they are nothing without expensive serums and Peloton machines * The Sunday Times *
What heaven . . . wish it could go on forever -- Nigella Lawson
Warmhearted and deftly plotted page-turner. A celebration of kindness: that of family and friends * Sunday Telegraph *
Sharp and funny * Guardian *
Keyes’s prose whisks you through her tales — she has an instantly endearing turn of phrase and an acute sense of comic timing * The Times *
