THE HILARIOUS AND HEARTWARMING NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
After 20 years, high-flying PR Anna Walsh no longer loves New York.
Returning to Ireland will be a fresh start, she tells her family.
They say: are you having a mid-life crisis?
Because back home, Anna can’t escape her past – the best friend she walked out on, the old flame she tried to put out.
Everywhere she turns, her mistakes are waiting.
But might they just save her?

Critics Review

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
