Description

INSTANT #1 BESTSELLER!

A brand-new book from the #1 bestselling author of The Break and The Woman Who Stole My Life.


They're a glamorous family, the Caseys. Johnny Casey, his two brothers Ed and Liam, their beautiful, talented wives and all their kids spend a lot of time together--birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, weekends away. And they're a happy family. Johnny's wife, Jessie--who has the most money--insists on it.

Under the surface, though, conditions are murkier. While some people clash, other people like each other far too much . . .

Still, everything manages to stay under control--that is, until Ed's wife, Cara, gets a concussion and can't keep her thoughts or opinions to herself. One careless remark at Johnny's birthday party, with the entire family present, and Cara starts spilling all their secrets.

As everything unravels, each of the adults finds themselves wondering if it's--finally--the time to grow up.

Advance Praise

“I loved every word of Grown Ups. I will be missing those gorgeous vibrant characters for many weeks to come. There should be a word to describe the sadness and satisfaction you feel when you read the last page of a Marian Keyes novel: the ending is perfect but you still want more, more, more.” —LIANE MORIARTY, bestselling author of Big Little Lies

“Messy, tangled, complex humans who reminded me that few of us ever really sort out our lives at all.” —JOJO MOYES, bestselling author of Me Before You

“This beauty of a book just took the crown as my new favourite Marian Keyes novel (and that is a HIGH bar). It’s tender, hilarious, important, with characters who feel as real as your own family by the time you’re done. I put it down and felt bereft.” —BETH O’LEARY, bestselling author of The Flatshare

“A novel that is warm and witty, but never afraid to tackle the big stuff.” —ELIZABETH DAY, bestselling author of How to Fail

“Marian Keyes’s gift for storytelling is utterly magnificent. I feel like I’ve met every single character in this book. I may even be a character in this book. Nobody nails chaotic families like Marian.” —Liz Nugent, bestselling author of Unravelling Oliver
