As a ‘woman of a certain age’ I really loved this story. I laughed I cried but mostly I rolled my eyes in agreement. I thought the narrator did a great job too.

Loved it!

This book was so relatable to many women my age. This listen had me laughing, agreeing, rolling my eyes, talking to myself out loud and crying with saddness . An author who can cause me to feel all of those emotions is a good one. Tracy Bloom is brilliant, I have listened and loved a lot of her books, my favourites being 'No-one has Sex on Tuesday ' Series. Fiona Boylan did her job as narrator well. This felt like a Bridget Jones Diary for 48 year old married mum's 😂👍
I recommend this book, it is worth a credit or sale buy
