When you have finished you may well feel like you are one of the family, you will know them so well. The pages will fly by as you will be caught up in the lives of the family. It may be a long book at over 600 pages but you won’t notice. As always there is a lot in the book which will make you laugh at the madcap antics and straight talking of the characters, but there are also a lot more serious issues woven into the story such as eating disorders, addiction, grief and self-esteem. There’s a large cast of relatable characters, all part of the Casey family or connected with them. Grown-Ups is Marian Keyes at her best with all that I love about her books. When one of the wives, Cara, gets concussed, she suddenly blurts out some secrets which not only shock everyone but reveal rather a lot of home truths and show the family to be not quite as perfect as it seemed… On the face of it, they are one big happy family but there are unspoken tensions simmering away underneath. This family spends a lot of time together at birthdays, holidays, anniversaries and so on. Grown Ups follows the three bothers in the Casey family, Johnny, Ed and Liam, and their wives and various offspring. It is always such a treat when a new Marian Keyes book comes out and her latest absolutely did not disappoint!
