Novel Kicks Book Club: My Favourite Mistake by Marian Keyes

How is it already March? 

2025 seems to be chuntering along at an alarmingly fast pace. I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to notice the longer evenings and, despite it still being very cold out of the sun, the brightness of the last few days has been very welcome.

It’s time for a new book for our book club and I am so excited about this month’s pick.

As you can see, it’s My Favourite Mistake, the latest novel by the amazing Marian Keyes.

I adore this author and can’t wait to get started on this book.

Anyone and everyone is welcome into our book club. If you’ve managed to already read this month’s book pick or if you’d like to add it to your book list for this month, I’d love to discuss it with you in the comments below.

About My Favourite Mistake: 

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?

I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.
