Marian Keyes has introduced readers to the lives, loves, and foibles of the five Walsh sisters. In this funny, heartbreaking, and triumphant new tale set in the Big Apple, it's Anna's turn in the spotlight. Life is perfect for Anna Walsh. She has the "Best Job in the World" as a PR exec for a top-selling urban beauty brand, a lovely apartment in New York, and a perfect husband -- the love of her life, Aidan Maddox. Until the morning she wakes up in her mammy's living room in Dublin with her face in stitches, a dislocated knee, and completely smashed-up hands -- and no memory of how she got there. While her mammy plays nursemaid, Anna tries to get better and keeps wondering why Aidan won't return her phone calls or emails. Recuperating from her injuries, a mystified Anna returns to Manhattan. Slowly beginning to remember what happened, she sets off on a search to find Aidan -- a hilarious quest involving lilies (she can't stop smelling them), psychics, mediums, and anyone there who can promise her a reunion with her beloved... Written in her classic style, marrying the darker parts of life with humor and wit, Anybody Out There? is Marian Keyes' best novel to date, wonderfully charming look at love here and ever after. Performed by Terry Donnelly.… (more)

Just picked this up and have finished the first chapter.

So far, so good. ( )

Why I will never read this book. The verdict is in.

As I wandered down to my local coffee shop the other morning, I couldn’t help noticing a little pile of books somebody had put on the footpath, part of a clearing up. A motley collection, if ever I saw one, was my professional assessment.

Over the next couple of days the pile got smaller. Somebody took the book on ’Twenty-two ways to improve the feng shui of your lavatory.’ And ‘Things you can do with bonsai plants if you have a front loader.’ Even the Booker Prize winner went missing. Eventually all that was left was Marian Keyes Anybody Out There? Apparently not, Marian. Apparently not. ( )

I loved the latest book from Marian Keyes. I laughed, I cried, I did both at the same time. A definite must read for Keyes fans. ( )

Really interesting book--starts from the present and works its way back. Coincided with my bad fall and multiple injuries which character also had (but from a car accident) which resonated with me; however, her husband died in the accident. She goes through the grieving process in a very real basis. Main character is Irish. ( )

This is the second book I have read in this series, and this time the book is about Anna Walsh. Initially it flips back and forth between the current time and meeting (and her subsequent relationship) with Aidan. The vast majority of the book is her trying to deal with losing Aidan. Whilst some heavy subject matter, there is also a lot of humour present within the book. I did enjoy this book, like with the first one I read in this series, Rachel's Holiday, and I will be continuing to read books in this series and will try other books by Marian Keyes. ( )
