"This latest Walsh family gem has it all - romance, a cosy mystery and lots and lots of laughter. "
My Favourite Mistake is the latest eagerly awaited installment in Marian Keyes’ beloved Walsh family saga. This time, we’re reunited with Anna, the star of Anybody Out There as she navigates a fresh start in a small Irish town after leaving behind New York—and her partner, Angelo—post-lockdown. Reuniting with her old flatmate Brigit and her family, Anna finds herself caught up in two pressing dilemmas: uncovering who’s sabotaging Brigit’s new retreat business and tracking down some much-needed HRT.
Then there’s Narky Joey—the one that got away, or rather, the one with whom she always found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Their undeniable chemistry is still there, but is now finally their moment, or are they destined to be each other's biggest mistake?
Marian Keyes once again delivers her signature mix of sharp wit, warmth, and compelling storytelling. Fans will delight in revisiting the Walshes, while the addition of a fun mystery keeps things fresh and engaging. While My Favourite Mistake can certainly be enjoyed as a standalone, why deny yourself the joy of experiencing the full Walsh family saga? This novel is both a nostalgic treat for longtime fans and a wonderfully contemporary, feel-good read for newcomers alike.

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 . . .
