Welcome to Litsy!

A rather sweet story of success and failure, triumph and despair which resonated with me far more than I expected. Stella is such a normal, likable character and I wanted everything to go right for her after such a traumatic experience. Sometimes I wanted to shake some sense into her but that was in extreme moments. This book has romance, teenagers behaving badly, sulky exes and so much promise that I couldn‘t put it down.

Reading fireside tonight

It‘s been forever since I read anything by Marian Keyes. Enjoying this one so far.

A fine, light read. When Stella contracts a rare disease she becomes completely paralyzed able to only blink her eyes to communicate. Romantic and familial complications ensue, and Stella must figure out how to lead her life. A bit meandering and a bit predictable, I didn‘t feel particularly for any of the characters. Wrapped up the first set of prompts for #booked2019 with this one. #setinireland

Stella is a beautician by chance who‘s terrible illness changes her life in unexpected ways, leading her to NYC and back to Dublin. Mostly, this is a fun palette cleanser, but it does get bogged down in some stereotyping about women that we really need to get past. I did enjoy reading it while in Ireland, which felt authentic.

Not the best Marian Keyes book I‘ve read but I still enjoyed it. Fairly predictable chick lit but I liked the added medical side

Long breaks in between classes are meant for reading and pedicures right?!

Great chick-lit. Easy read with relatable characters - great for switching off in the sunshine!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sunny morning & I‘m into the last pages of this engaging fun book! I adore the Irish humor & the story surprisingly really worked!! There was quite a bit of substance here & I wish I weren‘t at the end of the book ☀️

Have a lovely weekend Littens everywhere!🎶🎀🎈

Bought both these in my local charity shop and thats exactly where they are heading back to ... total dribble ... on to the next...👓

Late afternoon reading in our backyard.... ☕️☀️📖
I love that spring is finally here 💓

low-key style

I read a lot of Marian Keyes years ago but this was my first read of this one. An enjoyable, easy read. Perfect for a day at the park in the sun like this one 😀

My reading material in these days.

I am on page 63 and for now it is not as promising as I thought it would be. I like Keyes and her writing that's why I chose this book in the first place, but for now it is meh.

We'll see what happens next.

I am not reading as much as I want to because I am planning my vacation for the next 2 weeks. I hope to read more while I am gone but there is no pressure. First and foremost I will enjoy my vacation.

Easy read, enjoyed this one. Reminders of Rachel's Holiday with some LOL moments

Entertaining and funny. Nothing deep or meaningful about this book but it will entertain.

I loved reading Marian Keyes' books when I was younger, and she is definitely one of the authors that made me a reader.

#MarchIntoReading

a book that i bought on a trip. this was good but not regular marianne keyes chick lit amaaaaaazing.

For a book that was published in 2014,and from an author who is usually quite funny and on the nose about things, this book spent a lot of time concentrating on a no-carbs fixation, having every part of your body fully waxed, wardrobe malfunctions (there was a minor meltdown over a pair of shoes that went with skirts), and Botox. I really thought I'd stepped back in time. Poor effort. No stars for this one.

Time for some light reading!

I love how Marian manages to blend dark and light, drama and humor altogether perfectly. Though, as a medical student, I was little irritated with some wrong medical information, i did enjoy the book.

" A well-crafted novel with engaging characters and a gripping plot. Couldn't have said it better.I had to read this book for my book club, and I loved it!!!! At times I couldn't put it down. The story line is good, and I was so happy with the ending.

It's 33 degrees Celsius outside 🔥 so I'm reading in bed in my miraculously cool room.
What did I think of this book? It was okay. I didn't really connect with the characters and the story jumped around a bit too much for my taste. | ⭐️⭐️

I love bookmarks, especially delicate ones like these two 🌾 my sister gave me the bookmark on the left as a gift from China. The one on the right I discovered on Amazon and I immediately fell in love with it ❤️

Audiobook listen - this is a 3.5 stars took a while to get into it but enjoyed it in the end

I enjoyed this book - humorous and thought provoking. I found it interesting how the story was told.
