Confessions Of A Forty-Something F**k Up by Alexandra Potter published by Pan Macmillan
Nell Stevens’ life is a mess – moving back to London from LA after her business goes bust and her relationship fails she notices that many things have changed. Her friends are now all settled with children, and she is forced to rent a room in a house. Life just feels like it’s f**ked up!.
When Nell gets a job writing obituaries, she first
encounters Cricket, an eighty-something widow with challenges of her own, and
they strike up an unlikely friendship. Together they begin to help each other
heal their aching hearts, cope with the loss of the lives they had planned, and
push each other into new adventures and unexpected joys.
Because Nell is determined. Next year things are
going to be very different. It's time to turn her life around.
Initially I didn’t think I was going to like this
book, as I mistakenly thought it was transcripts of a podcast, but how wrong
was I? This is in fact a laugh out loud funny novel, that every forty-something
will relate to in one way or another!!!
It delivers everything you want, a believable,
loveable main character in Nell, a cross generation friendship with Cricket, a great group of friends (think Cold Feet) and
the villain of the piece is have-it-all Annabel(or does she?!)
Bravo, a lovely book.
