How do you start again, after losing everything? Find out in the Sunday Times no. 1 bestselling sensation!

Anna had a dream life - according to everybody else. She lived in New York, had a long-term boyfriend, and had The Best Job In The World working as a highly successful beauty PR. So why did she decide to take a flamethrower to the lot? Because now she's back Dublin, living with her parents. She's undeniably forty-eight, with no partner, no job, and no direction. Anna's lost her purpose. She needs a new challenge to help her fall back in love with life again. When an opportunity arises to solve a PR crisis in the tiny town of Maumtully, Anna leaps at the chance. But will the appearance of an old love interest derail her plans?

Reviews for My Favourite Mistake

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 * You are all in for a treat. My Favourite Mistake is by turns hilarious and heart-breaking, with a very satisfying mystery at the heart of it too -- Elly Griffiths The biggest treat. I've laughed, I've blushed and I've cried. How does Marian do it? Just a beautiful, hopeful story -- Jennie Godfrey Funny and moving and very sexy -- Liz Nugent Unbelievable…so much talent -- Chris Evans
