'Say hello to a book that will have you laughing with every page, whether you're 20, 40 or 80' –
Heat

A novel for any woman who wonders how the hell she got here, and why life isn't quite how she imagined it was going to be. And who is desperately trying to figure it all out when everyone around them is making gluten-free brownies.

Meet Nell. Her life is a mess.

In a world of perfect Instagram lives, she feels like a disaster. But when she starts a secret podcast and forms an unlikely friendship with Cricket, an eighty-something widow, things begin to change. Because Nell is determined. This time next year things will be very different. But first, she has a confession . . .

Confessions of a Forty-Something F--k Up by Alexandra Potter will make you laugh, and it might even make you cry. Above all, it will remind you that you're not on your own – we're all in this together.

Comforting and relatable

I needed to listen to this very relatable and real story even though it set in a completely different culture and country context than my own. It’s a narrative of a life we all experience in pieces at different stages of our lives. It’s fun to listen to both the story and the narrator. Needless to say I picked it up at a time when I needed it the most.

Deceptively deep

Deceptively deep this book, whose title leads you to believe it's a chic read, but far from it. Enjoyed it thoroughly
