Summary

A warm, funny read for fans of Outnumbered and the novels of Fern Britton, Fiona writes about life as it really is.

"Midlife crisis? WHAT midlife crisis?!"

Charlotte Bristow is worried about her husband, Will. With her 16-year-old daughter, Rosie, newly signed to a top modelling agency and Will recently out of a job, things are changing in their household.

As Will dusts down his old leather trousers and starts partying with their new, fun neighbours, Charlotte begins to wonder what on earth is going on.

So when Fraser, Charlotte's ex - and father of Rosie - suddenly arrives back on the scene, she starts to imagine what might have been....

Great story

Loved the characters, great story line & Nice twist. Relatable and truly easy to listen to. Will look for more by author & narrator.

Good but not great

This is the fourth book I have read by this author. I thoroughly enjoyed the others but was a bit disappointed with this one. I only finished it a few days ago and now I am struggling to remember what it was about! The main character Charlotte just went on and on about how old she was, how everything had gone 'south' etc. etc... How old was she? 65? 80? 90? No, she was 38 for goodness sake!!! Parts of the book that were supposed to be humourous, (as in previous books by this author) were read in such a humourless way by the narrator that the point was completely missed. Not much of a storyline. I will still purchase books by this author though as all her previous ones have been brilliant.
