“So real - gripping and relatable everyday drama”
(Paperback)
I was obsessed with this. I read it in the precious few moments while waiting for my tea to steep at work, on lunch breaks and all the commute home. I found myself thinking about these characters throughout the day and wondering what would happen to them. I really love getting nosy into what makes relationships work (or fall apart...)
About Us follows three couples who all find themselves in the office of a relationship and sex therapist. All characters are slightly connected, in a Love Actually-kind of way. It was really simple yet emotional to read, I could see part of myself in every character and had empathy for all their very different struggles. Overall, I found this book to be really thought-provoking, heartfelt and uplifting. It would be great for fans of I Give My Marriage a Year by Holly Wainwright.
Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Books UK for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
“A brilliant read”
(Paperback)
I’ve read all Sinead’s books over the years and was really looking forward to reading ‘About Us’. It didn’t disappoint!
The story is set in Dublin and features three very different couples who are all seeing the same sex and relationships therapist.
Sinead always deals with real-life issues, and in a well-researched and sympathetic way. I absolutely loved this book and would highly recommend it.
Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin for an advance reader copy in return for an honest review.
“Very good!”
(Paperback)
This was my first Moriarty, and let me explain the shallow motives that drawn me to this book.
First of all the name of the author sounded so Irish, and I was in the mood for an Irish read. Secondly: Moriarty is a character in Sherlock Holmes, impersonated in the series by the wonderful actor Andrew Scott, aka the hot priest in Fleabag. So yes, my motives were very, very shallow.
But from shallow motives can come wonderful surprises, like this one!
What a delightful book! The characters are so relatable and well described you have the sensation you've known them all your life, the problems they have in their daily life and in their relationships are also your own, and their path with with therapist Maggie is somewhat healing also for the reader.
I must add other Moriarty's to my TBR pile, I absolutely love her style.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
“Fabulous read”
(Paperback)
Yet again Sinead Moriarty has written an absolutely brilliant book.
Three different women at different stages in their lives and they are dealing with problems in their relationships. Maggie is the therapist who will do her best to help them all to overcome the issues they have. This book made me laugh and also at times made me cry . There is lots of emotion coming from this book as you read about what each couple is going through. This book just grabbed me from the first chapter and every time I put it down I couldn’t wait to pick it back up to continue reading this wonderful book.
