Summary
As the youngest of the five Walsh girls, Helen has had a tough time finding her way in the world-- at thirty-three, she has her job as a private investigator that has proven less than fruitful and after losing her flat, she' s moved back in with Mammy Walsh. Her hunky new boyfriend, Artie, and his three adorable children are a great distraction, but his beautiful ex-wife lives a little too close for comfort. Meanwhile, Helen runs into her ex-boyfriend Jay Parker and reluctantly signs on to help him locate Wayne Diffney, the recently disappeared fourth member of Ireland' s biggest mid-nineties boy band, Laddz. Of the five Laddz, the Talented One has long gone on to better things, but the Cute One, the Gay One, and the Other One are all busily shunning carbs and rehearsing their reunion tour, and it' s Helen' s job to track down Wayne, the Wacky One. Wayne hasn' t left a trace, and Helen throws herself into the search wholeheartedly, leaving no stone unturned while watching her own life slowly fall apart, one unpaid bill at a time.

This may not be the perfect book and many people may not agree with my rating, but I enjoy this author and all these characters so much. This book brought me great enjoyment and I am always sad when I finish one of Marian Keyes’ books so that is why I gave it 5 stars. My favorite sister is usually the one the current book is focused on, but Helen has made me laugh and the author does a good job of portraying her IDGAF attitude. In this book we notice that Helen actually does care, but she just knows herself well and is generally uncompromising. I appreciated the mental health aspect of this book. Marian Keyes does a great job of not allowing a dark subject matter to get too dark by adding the perfect amount of humor. I laughed out loud as I do with all the Walsh sister books. I also cried and that mix doesn’t happen often enough for me in books. The book did a great job of showing that mental health issues are real and serious and you’re not crazy if you battle with them. I loved the added mystery here. As always I want to know more!
