Summary
Curl up with this hilarious, heartwarming read from the Top 5 best-selling author of The Mum Who Got Her Life Back.
Sometimes life can be bittersweet....
Between tending to the whims of her seven-year-old and the demands of her boss, Viv barely gets a moment to herself. It’s not quite the life she wanted, but she hasn’t run screaming for the hills yet. But then Viv’s husband Andy makes his mid-life crisis her problem. He’s having an affair with his (infuriatingly age-appropriate) colleague, a woman who – unlike Viv – doesn’t put on weight when she so much as glances at a cream cake. Viv suddenly finds herself single, with zero desire to mingle. Should she be mourning the end of life as she knows it, or could this be the perfect chance to put herself first?
When life gives you lemons, lemonade just won’t cut it. Bring on the gin!

Chic lit for The over 40's!!
Fiona Gibson's books are always very down to earth and amusing.
It's nice to read a novel that you can relate to if you are of a certain age.......over 40/50!
Sometimes funny, sometimes heart breaking, always interesting.
I didn't find this one quite as good as some of her others, it was a bit predictable, but still enjoyable despite that.
I have read all of her books and would highly recommend all of them
I'm already looking forward to her next book.

Really good storyline.
I did enjoy this book. Really good story. Looked forward to finding out what happened next. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because(and don't hate me) some of the voices really grated on me.

horrible narrator
unfortunately I couldn't finish the book because of how annoying the narration is :/ her regular reading is ok, but she makes 'voices' for the daughter and husband and old lady... and it's ABSOLUTELY AWFUL! I've never written a review, but this ruined the experience and I had to comment. She's so, so bad...

Don’t bother
Awful! Couldn’t wait for it to end but it just kept ...on.
..going... far too protracted with very little substance.

Boring
I've given up. It's full of clichés . I can't finish it. Might be useful if you have trouble sleeping.

Story of positivity.
This was a refreshingly positive and uplifting book about life after separation and divorce. It made a change to read about someone who thrived and survived her husband leaving her rather than being depicted as a victim. The performance was good although hearing a grown woman trying to talk like a 7/8 year old girl became a little annoying although I know this was unavoidable without using a child actor. An easy, nice listen but nothing more.

Excellent narrator
I bought this book because I'd just finished a thriller read by the same narrator. It's not normally the sort of book I would listen to. I enjoyed it but wouldn't listen to this type of book again.
