About this ebook

Whoever said life began at 40 was dead right...

A riotous romantic comedy about never-ending motherhood, second chances and growing old disgracefully.

What do you do when:

Mr Could Do Worse dumps you on the very night you think he's going to propose?

Your twenty-something son turns up on your doorstep, with a broken heart and dirty washing in tow?

You find out you're going to be a granny – at 45?

Your son's maybe ex-girlfriend's father starts making wickedly naughty suggestions?

Your ex's new bit of stuff wants to become your new best friend?

Your 70-year-old father is dating someone young enough to be your sister?

You make the same mistakes you made in your twenties two whole decades later?

You can't get the one person you want out of your head?

You grab the vodka and wonder if you're too old for all this crap...

When I picked this up I war under no illusions that it would be a literary classic. It's an easy read. A trashy romantic comedy. Unfortunately it was that funny and the romance wasn't all that. It was okay but there are much better books out there to waste your time with.
