One careless remark at Johnny’s birthday party, with the entire family present, starts Cara spilling out all their secrets. Įverything stays under control until Ed’s wife Cara, gets concussion and can’t keep her thoughts to herself. While some people clash, other people like each other far too much.

Under the surface, though, conditions are murkier.

Johnny’s wife, Jessie – who has the most money – insists on it. Johnny Casey, his two brothers Ed and Liam, their beautiful, talented wives and all their kids spend a lot of time together – birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, weekends away. I’ve long been a fan of Marian Keyes (and stalk her on Twitter frequently – especially during the Strictly season!) When I saw another of my ‘close personal friends’ (actually just someone else I follow religiously on social media who I’m never likely to meet IRL), Giovanna Fletcher, rave about Marian’s newest book, I wondered if it was available on NetGalley to get a sneak preview – and joy of joys it was!
