Summary

A hilarious, heartwarming listen perfect for fans of Shirley Valentine and You've Got Mail. Could the worst thing that's ever happened to Hannah Pinkman also turn out to be one of the best? She and her husband, Dan, have reached the end of the line. Bored with the same gripes, the same old arguments - in fact, bored with everything - they split up after a trivial row turns into something much more serious.

Now Hannah has to make a new life for herself, but that's not easy. She's been so busy being a wife and mum that she's let all her other interests slip away, along with her friends. And when Hannah is persuaded to join a dating site, her best match is the very last person she expects it to be....

A clever, funny and poignant novel about life after a long relationship, the importance of friendship and rediscovering your identity.

Critic reviews

Praise for Polly James: "A properly good writer." (India Knight)
"I can't put it down!" (Marika Cobbold)
"A witty, hugely relatable portrayal of the hell that is an unexpected middle-aged break-up...with a wonderfully moving premise at its heart." (Lorelei Mathias)
"Having read some of the Adrian Mole diaries I think that the comparison is completely justified and Polly James definitely shares some of the characteristics of Sue Townsend's brilliant writing.... Polly James is definitely a writer to look out for...." (chicklitreviewsandnews.com)
"I liked Molly a lot, she is someone I could share a glass of wine with." (bookdout.wordpress.com)
"Having been a huge Bridget Jones fan, I thought this was a great look as to what happens on the other side - the married side...." (www.novelkicks.co.uk)
"A very funny, light-hearted book which will definitely give you a few laughs. Okay, scratch that. Barrels of laughs." (iheart-chicklit.blogspot.co.uk)

"I hope there is going to be a sequel!" (fabulousbookfiend.blogspot.co.uk)
"For a frank, honest belly laughing book with a heart. Diary of an Unsmug Married is absolutely perfect." (www.novelicious.com)

All over the place

I had to listen to this at intervals as I found this book so irritating I nearly abandoned it. The book just waffles on with absolutely no depth and some scenarios which were quite irrelevant and pretty pathetic. The headphone incident for example. Trite and totally forgettable
