'Hugely relatable!' Heat

________________________________

We’re going to need a bigger drink…

Meet Frankie: fifty, divorced and getting back on the horse.

After leaving Twatface – her husband of twenty years – she's starting again from scratch. And when her son also flees the nest for university, Frankie decides it’s time to throw herself back into the dating game with a vengeance.

On best friend Bel's recommendation, Frankie signs up to two dating apps: one for love, another for casual hook-ups (because why the f**k not?!).

However, as she navigates this new frontier of catfishing, kittenfishing, ghosts, GILFs and everything in between, she realises the whole dating thing has changed quite a bit – and it really is a bloody jungle out there…

Will Frankie find love on the apps? Or the perfect shag?

Or – if there’s any justice in the world – both?

I brought this as I was in a place where I definitely needed a pick me up and this was perfect. The characters are brilliant and you can relate to them and their situations. On the back of this I’ve even booked a little trip just for me to Lincoln to visit the cathedral and Steep Hill! It was read fabulously too, such an amazing combination of pure genius with a great story that is so well written and read that I have listened many times and can still feel the emotions. Brilliant author, great writing and narration. Love, love , love this! 🤗

Absolutely brilliant!!!

Frankie is fifty, feisty and fed-up. With a failed marriage to, "Tw** Face", tucked under the belt of her dungarees, and her adored son in his first term at Uni, Frankie moves out of the family home into the tiny flat above her new business, a quilting shop in Lincoln. Her bestie, Bel, encourages her, over an experimental spliff, to plunge into the weird and dodgy world of internet dating. Whilst navigating these shark, or catfish, infested waters, Frankie, sets up a quilting group, and when a guy named Stefan joins....


This debut RomCom is, I hope, the first of many from Harper Ford. Also, Leslie Sharp's narration is excellent.


Relevant, Realistic, hilarious

Quite enjoyed the book and the story but the narrator was really annoying so found myself not really liking the main character because of it.

Decent story but annoying narrator

Read beautifully by Lesley Sharpe. This is a quirky tale following Frankie’s life after the breakdown of her marriage. Her warts and all introduction to dating apps with all it’s pitfalls and eventually finding confidence and new way of life.

Fabulous
