About this listen
At 29, Claire is full of the joys of life - that is, until her husband leaves her on the day she gives birth to her baby. With a broken heart, a beautiful newly born and an expanding mirror image, she decides to visit her eccentric family in Dublin. There she starts to feel better. So much better, in fact, that James is in for a surprise when he decides to slither back into her life.

Story
Lucy Sullivan is 26 and living it up (and occasionally down) in London. Hers is a life of quiet, undisciplined desperation. But when she and three friends visit a psychic for a bit of fun and the woman's predictions start coming true, Lucy is horrified. For the fortune-teller insisted she'd soon be married - within the year, in fact. Not only does Lucy not have a boyfriend, but the chances of getting one are looking slim. Between the bottles of wine, antidepressants and her addiction to self-help books, she's not quite ready to walk, or even stumble, down the aisle sober.

Story
The Aylward women of Nenagh, Tipperary, are mad about each other, but you wouldn’t always think it. You’d have to know them to know that—in spite of what the neighbors might say about raised voices and dramatic scenes—their house is a place of peace, filled with love, a refuge from the sadness and cruelty of the world. Their story begins at an end and ends at a beginning. It involves wives and widows, gunrunners and gougers, sinners and saints. It’s a story of terrible betrayals and fierce loyalties, isolation and togetherness, of transgression, forgiveness, desire, and love.

Story
Suppose your life sucks. A lot. Your husband has done a vanishing act, your teenage stepson is being bullied, and your math-whiz daughter has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you can't afford to pay for. That's Jess' life in a nutshell - until an unexpected knight-in-shining-armor offers to rescue them. Only Jess' knight turns out to be Geeky Ed, the obnoxious tech millionaire whose vacation home she happens to clean. But Ed has big problems of his own, and driving the dysfunctional family to the Math Olympiad feels like his first unselfish act in ages...maybe ever.

High heels, movie deals, wagon wheels, shoes, reviews, having the blues, builders, babies, families and other calamities... Many think that Marian leads a glitzy life of limos, television, and showbiz parties - but she would argue that she spends the majority of her life writing alone, wearing her PJs, and eating bananas with a laptop on a pillow in front of her. Under the Duvet is a wide collection of her journalism and stories, all personal, closely observed, and painfully funny...

When Iris decides to move to New York to restart her life, she realizes she underestimated how big the Big Apple really is—all the nostalgic movies set in New York she’d watched with her mom while eating their special secret-recipe gelato didn’t quite do it justice. But Bobby, Iris’s best friend, isn’t about to let her hide away. He drags her to a famous autumn street fair in Little Italy, and as they walk through the food stalls, a little family-run gelateria catches her eye—could it be the same shop that’s in an old photo of her mother’s?

Delightful
"Watermelon" by Marian Keyes is an absolute delight to read, especially when brought to life by the talented narrator Gerri Hannigan. This heartwarming and engaging novel follows the story of Claire Walsh as she navigates the ups and downs of life after a surprising turn of events.
Marian Keyes' writing style is both witty and poignant, making it easy to connect with the characters and their emotions. Gerri Hannigan's narration adds an extra layer of depth to the story, bringing each character to life with her expressive delivery and engaging storytelling.
One of the standout aspects of "Watermelon" is the excellent narration by Gerri Hannigan. Her skillful portrayal of the characters and the emotions they experience enhances the overall listening experience, making it even more enjoyable and immersive.
Overall, "Watermelon" is a refreshing and captivating read that will keep you hooked from beginning to end, especially when accompanied by Gerri Hannigan's wonderful narration. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming and well-written novel that will leave you feeling uplifted and entertained.

Love this author, but…
I absolutely love Marian Keyes. However, this one is not my favourites. It is still well worth purchasing and listening to, but it’s not one of her stronger ones.

I love Marian Keyes books but found the story line lacking. I listened to the end but was glad it was finished.
