About this listen

Jenny discovers her days are numbered at the same time she discovers her husband is having an affair...as is her life wasn't tough enough already. Two tricky teenagers, her mother's constant complaints, friends who aren't up to the job and a career which has been spiralling downwards. And now a cheating husband and a death sentence.

Jenny vows to keep both catastrophes a secret. She takes her life - and death - into her own hands and decides to live as she did when she was happiest...in 1996. She plans a spectacular 1990s themed party in place of a wake that she will attend. But will she be able to keep her secrets for long enough?

Wish I'd read as an actual book instead of listening to it.
Such a shame as it was well written.

Loved the book but hated the narration.

What an amazing book. It made me laugh, cry and really think about life. It was a joy to read even though at times it was so sad. But as I say some parts were funny, I recommend this book as one of the best I've ever read/listened to.

Amazing book

When Jenny discovers she has a life changing illness she decides to take stock of her life. She is married to Mark a numbers man who always seems to have a plan and is working hard towards his goal of reaching the top. Trouble is he is so focused on that goal that he seems to barely notice Jenny. They have two children Ellie who he always takes her side and George who has anxiety problems who he barely notices.

Jenny is losing weight and is hiding it from her family she is in pain a lot of the time and eating small amounts. She had decided to talk to Mark at his office but unbeknownst to him what she finds is unwanted.

But with all that aside Jenny is going to have a party, this party is going right back to her favourite period the 1990’s, it will be fancy dress and she is going to have a ball no matter what.

Given the subject matter, this book will take you through lots of emotions, you will want to cry one minute the next you will howl with laughter. It made me want to treasure all the moments in my life and live in that moment.

Will Jenny finally have the Last Laugh…..
