Irish author Marian Keyes is back with her 16th book - My Favourite Mistake.

She's already sold 35 million books over the course of her career, and even has a Netflix adaptation in the pipeline.

Keyes says she felt inspired to write about relationships, friendships romances and community during a turbulent time in the world.

"I've subsequently discovered that people are craving love stories. Because what we read goes through phases - I still read a lot of crime because everything gets sorted out in a crime novel. And the same with love stories, things get fixed."
