“A lovely, multi-generational novel that takes place in Ireland. A man has lost his job, and both his mother and one of his daughters are needy and getting into trouble. This was a completely delightful audiobook!”

“I started this delightful Irish novel in celebration of St. Patrick's Day and ended up recommending it to everyone who needs a hilarious and heartwarming escape. Narrated by three generations of a Dublin family in turmoil, the inter-generational angst the Gogarty family is experiencing is universally relatable. It's also a prescient reminder that it's never too late to start over and start living. Unless you can recreate them in your head, I highly recommend listening to Good Eggs on Libro.fm for the pure joy of hearing it read with Irish accents!”

“I love Irish reels. But when the music swelled to mark the end of Good Eggs I was sad. I had to say goodbye to Kevin? And Aideen? And GRAM? Spending time with the Gogartys of Dublin—as they wend their way through misadventures, orneriness, teen angst, and, finally, sweet but dotty grandma's quest for revenge—you'll wish they were your family, too. For all the convolutions, it always feels like all will be well, so it's okay to laugh out loud as the plot thickens!”

“Hilarious in parts—a grandmother who shoplifts, cringy in others—a husband and dad who is has a crush on a teacher, and half of a set of teenage twins—who you want to both hug and shake some sense into at the same time, makes for a delightful novel. Three generations on a road to calamity and a caregiver who is too good to be true all draw you into their family saga. I listened to this and loved it!”

Bookseller recommendation
“Filled with warmth and hilarity, this book reads like a mix of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Frye and a Maeve Binchy novel. The Irish setting is especially welcome on this side of the pond, and of the three plotlines following different generations, the absolute best paints 83-year-old pistol of a grandma Millie as a delightfully quirky and determined soul. A charming, offbeat novel — perfect to savor as we emerge from this particular winter.”

Named a Best Feel-Good Book by The Washington Post
When a home aide arrives to assist a rambunctious family at a crossroads, simmering tensions boil over in this “witty, exuberant debut” (People) that is an “absolute delight from start to finish” (Sarah Haywood, New York Times bestselling author)—perfect for fans of Where’d You Go, Bernadette and Evvie Drake Starts Over.
When Kevin Gogarty’s eighty-three-year-old mother is caught shoplifting yet again, he has no choice but to hire a caretaker to keep an eye on her. Kevin, recently unemployed, is already at his wits’ end tending to a full house while his wife travels to exotic locales for work, leaving him solo with his sulky, misbehaved teenaged daughter. Into the Gogarty fray steps Sylvia, the upbeat home aide, who appears at first to be their saving grace—until she catapults the Gogarty clan into their greatest crisis yet.
“Bracing, hilarious, warm” (Judy Blundell, New York Times bestselling author), Good Eggs is an irresistibly charming study in self-determination; the notion that it’s never too late to start living; and the unique redemption that family, despite its maddening flaws, can offer.
Rebecca Hardiman is a former magazine editor who lives in New Jersey with her husband and three children. Good Eggs is her first novel.
