'One of the freshest, funniest, most exciting new voices I’ve read for a long time' JANE FALLON

'Fresh and funny and REAL ... Martha really spoke to me. She will steal everyone's heart!' VERONICA HENRY

'Beautifully written and emotionally intelligent. I rooted for Martha from the start.' Daily Mail

Meet Martha Ross. She dreams of being a singer, but she’s been working in a call centre for far too long. She’s separating from her husband, the father of her son. And she’s moving back home to her parents’ as a single mum, toddler in tow.

Life has thrown her a few lemons . . . but Martha intends to make a gin and tonic. It’s time to become the woman she’s always wanted to be. And at least her mum’s on hand to provide childcare – and ample motherly judgement, of course.

Soon Martha realises that in order to find lasting love and fulfilment, she needs to find herself first . . . But her attempts at reinvention – from writing a definitive wish list of everything she wants in a new man, to half-marathons, business plans and meditation retreats – tend to go awry in the most surprising of ways . . .

A warm, vibrant and painfully funny novel for fans of Why Mummy Drinks, Fiona Gibson and Lucy Vine.

Critic reviews

What fabulous, confident writing! One of the freshest, funniest, most exciting new voices I've read for a long time.
Beautifully written and emotionally intelligent. I rooted for Martha from the start.
Fresh and funny and REAL ... Martha really spoke to me. She will steal everyone's heart!
Very funny and delightfully relatable - this was a real treat.
[A] warm and insightful debut with a clever, funny and totally relatable heroine.
We've all been a 'Martha Ross' at some point, so we loved this hilarious and moving novel about starting afresh

This was nice to listen too. It was unusual to hear someone leave their husband at the beginning of the book and navigate their way through the following months with their toddler.

It infuriates me how men/fathers can choose if they want to see their child once for 1 hour a week or for the weekend!

It was interesting, I enjoyed this listen and I recommend it. I bought this in the audible sale 🌠
