My Favorite Mistake

The hilarious, heartwarming new novel from #1 internationally bestselling author Marian Keyes. < p/> Anna has just lost her taste for the Big Apple . . . < p/> Anna 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. < p/> Turning a minor mid-life crisis into 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. < p/> Tougher than it sounds. Newsflash: the locals hate the idea. So much so, there have been threats--and violence. < p/> Anna, however, worked in the beauty industry. There's no ugliness she hasn't seen. No wrinkle she can't smooth over. < p/> There's just one fly in the ointment: old flame Joey Armstrong. He's going to be her wingman. Never mind their checkered history. Never mind what might have been.
