Angels

By: Marian Keyes

Narrated by: Gerri Halligan

Unlike the rest of her family, Maggie Walsh has always done the right thing - that is until the day she leaves her husband and takes refuge with her friend Emily, a screenwriter in Los Angeles - a city where even the palm trees are skinny. Soon Maggie's doing all sorts of things she's never done before, such as wearing sunglasses in the shower and pitching scripts to studio executives - and meeting a mysterious man named Troy, who is so non-stick he's known as Human Teflon.©2003 Marian Keyes (P)2002 W F Howes Ltd

I love the Walsh family

Would you listen to Angels again? Why?

Yes I would listen to it again

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked all of them, but Maggie was the best

Any additional comments?

This was a great story about another one of the Walsh girls. I just love these stories :)

Walsh Family 3 ♥️

Mommy Walsh is the best! I love re listening to the series! I can’t wait to listen to the next one.

Good girl gone wild, but riding the brakes

Would you try another book from Marian Keyes and/or Gerri Halligan?

Absolutely! I'm a big fan of Keyes' work. Halligan however had a hard time with different American accents, it kind of pulled me out of the story at times.

If you’ve listened to books by Marian Keyes before, how does this one compare?

It was a well-developed story with a main character you could relate to, and while I enjoyed the book, it was not my favorite of hers.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Gerri Halligan?

Maybe if there are no American characters in the story. Maybe if the characters are all Irish.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes please!

Any additional comments?

I loved how Keyes developed the character of Maggie Walsh. As everyone has written her off as the good girl of the family who does everything right, Keyes slowly pulls back the layers of her past to reveal much greater depth to this woman. I thought her a bit scattered and childish in certain parts that seemed uncharacteristic, but could attribute that to anyone going through a life crisis, as this character certainly was. Overall a fun read.

Rom Com Fun

Ah the lovely Lucas sisters! And their parents, functionally dysfunctional, and very funny! I'm going to miss them, having just binge listened to all 5 stories, one for each sister. All good but this was one of my favorites. Any risk of becoming romance novels was rescued by believably eccentric, sarcastic, but loving family. very funny with submerged serious life issues. Read all Five!

So witty

Very entertaining, I can relate to Maggie & I’m continually amazed by the creativity of the way her thoughts are expressed.
