Everyday low prices on a huge range of new releases and classic fiction. Review: Simply irresistible - Brilliant. Review: Made me laugh and cry in equal measure - First off, I have to admit that if I had known what this book was about, I would never have started it. I hate things to do with death, terminal illness, life-changing accidents, the whole shebang. Unlike most women I know I actively avoid weepy films and will not even conscience the idea of watching The Snowman as it is simply too sad. Yes, I am an emotional coward (should have seen the state of me at the end of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close) and it does my mascara well for me to swerve the more sentimental aspects of the chicklit genre. (Incidentally I don't say chicklit like it's a bad thing, just so you know.) I'll be honest - the only reason I bought this book was because it was cheap, about half the price of the other Marian Keyes books, so I thought I'd give it a go. I had read a couple of other books by Marian and had thoroughly enjoyed them, though I echo the sentiments of other interviewers when I say that these books really do offer a lot more than the pastel-coloured front covers might suggest. There is a broadness and detail of the topics covered that make them a richer read than most other novelists aimed at females these days. This was the first book I had read that featured the Walsh family (I thought all MK books were stand alone) and I am so glad there are others to read and look forward to. Anna, the protagonist of this book is a very likeable and sympathetic character which is no mean feat when in other hands she would merely come across as a victim. The Anna character work particularly well within the context of her family - the emails between Anna, her sister Helen and their mother are laugh-out-loud funny and I am really looking forward to reading the Helen book (may even pay full price for it!) The subject matter is sad, but the wealth of supporting characters provide light relief so a pleasing balance is struck. I really did care about the characters in this book, and have to confess, I wept at the end. I liked the pace of the book, and the subject matter is well-split between the comic and the tragic too. I highly recommend it, even if you do normally skirt the more deep-and-meaningful books on the market. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 23,492 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 6 in Love, Sex & Marriage Humour 17 in Women's Literary Fiction (Books) 42 in Humorous Fiction | | Book 4 of 7 | Walsh Family | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (4,661) | | Dimensions | 12.9 x 3.8 x 19.8 cm | | ISBN-10 | 0241958466 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0241958469 | | Item weight | 432 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 624 pages | | Publication date | 2 Aug. 2012 | | Publisher | Penguin | ## Images ![Anybody Out There: The heartwarming, laugh-out-loud bestseller of love and si... - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vEqOxsw7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply irresistible *by A***E on 2 November 2025* Brilliant. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Made me laugh and cry in equal measure *by M***N on 18 March 2012* First off, I have to admit that if I had known what this book was about, I would never have started it.

In preparation for the newest novel, which updates Anna's story, I decided to re-read Anybody Out There, as it had been so long since I first read it. Anna is recovering from an accident, laid up at her parents' house in Ireland, but desperate to get back to her life, her job and her love, Aidan, all still in New York. This is a beautiful and sad exploration of grief and healing, with the usual deep care for humanity from Keyes and some brilliant moments of light relief with the emails between Mammy Keyes and Anna and Helen's tales of her life as a private detective. Going back to these early novels, you can see just how much Keyes has matured as a writer and how much more confident she is handling her material now. I still love the early books, but I am very excited to see what happens for Anna next. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/49230403-anybody-out-there-the-heartwarming-laugh-out-loud-bestseller-love](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/49230403-anybody-out-there-the-heartwarming-laugh-out-loud-bestseller-love) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
