Title: Anybody Out There?
Author: Marian Keyes

I had to go back to New York and try to find him. There was a chance he mightn’t be there but I had to give it a go because there was one thing I was certain of: he wasn’t here.’

Anna Walsh is officially a wreck. Physically broken and emotionally shattered, she lies on her parents’ Dublin sofa with only one thing on her mind: getting back to New York. New York means her apartment, The Most Fabulous Job In The World™ and above all, it means her husband, Aidan.

But nothing in Anna’s life is that simple …

Not only is her return to Manhattan complicated by her physical and emotional scars – but Aidan seems to have vanished.

Is it time for Anna to move on? Is it even possible to?

A motley group of misfits, an earth-shattering revelation, two births and one very weird wedding might help Anna find some answers – and change her life forever …

Well. I was really in the mood for a lighthearted chick lit book when I started this one, which was a huge mistake. Marian Keyes is talked about in any sort of chick lit conversation, and I had not read one of her books, so it was time… I picked this one at the library because the little synopsis I read inside the cover said she was in Public Relations, which I think is a fun career to read about. Little did I know I would be nearly in tears the entire book because of the way the events played out.

After the “worst” part of the book, I expected it to at least pick up a bit for a somewhat happy ending. It WAS happy… at least happier than the beginning, but still not enough to lift my spirits. If I had been in a different mood when I began the book, it’s likely I would have enjoyed it (it was well written), but it just did not fit my mood at all. Some of my PaperBackSwap friends have told me I should read Sushi for Beginners next, so that will be the next Keyes I try.
