**THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**

Is this the best worst day of her life?
Once, Grace Adams was poised for great things. Now, she barely attracts a second glance as she strides down the street carrying her daughter's sixteenth birthday cake.
But behind the scenes, Grace's life is in freefall. Her husband is divorcing her. Her daughter has banned her from her birthday party. And Grace has just abandoned her car in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Because Grace Adams has finally had enough. She's sick of being overlooked and underappreciated, and she's particularly tired of being polite. She's about to set off on a journey to rediscover who she is, and confront the secret that has torn her family apart.
What is that secret? You're about to find out . . .

I loved this book so much. It definitely needs to be a film and Claire Skinner would be amazing in the lead role. I was really invested in all the characters and it was funny, sad and everything in between. Definitely recommend.

Amazing!

I haven't enjoyed listening to a book, unreservedly in a long time.
Complex, sensitive and brilliantly read.
I'm sure every woman can empathise in Grace Adams situation to some degree.

Amazing Grace, amazing listen

I thought this book started off well, but it kept going back-and-forth and back-and-forth, and I got confused at times. I just really wanted to know what happened to her daughter and almost wanted to forward the book till I got to that point. Plus I found Grace quite annoying at times. However, it was performed and read very well in days.

It was ok
