Publisher's Summary

'Out of the blue, my perfect life imploded. Let's look at my situation, sans rose tinted specs. I have: no husband, no self-esteem, no money, a six-year-old son, a boisterous puppy, a crush on my son's teacher...and an online dating profile, apparently! I am the subject of village gossip, pursued by the mafia (playground variety), turning 40 in a matter of weeks. And...my life has just gone viral!'

A deliciously romantic and humorous book about love, loss and starting again. For fans of Sophie Kinsella, Cecelia Ahern and Marian Keyes.

not bad but not great

the story was ok.. not sure if I disliked the main character so much because the narrator was so... not at all for me. You wouldn't be missing out if you didn't listen to this book but it was also tolerable enough to finish.

Couldn’t get past the narration

Can’t comment on the story or writing, as I couldn’t get past the first 45 minutes. The narrator’s tone portrays the lead character as a complete drama Queen who’s constantly on the verge of hysterics. I could picture the foot-stamping, tantrums…. I wanted to persevere with it, but just couldn’t handle this narrators interpretation of the character, or the voice of the child.

A little witty here and there

I had difficulty listening to this narrator. I nearly didn't finish but got there in the end.

Narrator reading Shakespeare?

Oh god, the narration! Presumably a RADA grad, completely over the top melodrama for what is some pretty average chick-lit

Dense nonsense

This is just letting women down in a very big way. Also about as interesting as watching paint dry. Sorry but it’s nonsense

What a gem

I loved this story, it was so down to earth, raw in parts with warmth and humour thrown in, who could want for more.

Loved it!!!

This made a laugh, reflect, anticipate, smile and google the author to find more. Heartwarming in the truest sense of the word. I’ll be recommending to my friends - both married and separated!!

Found myself laughing

What a funny book I actually found myself laughing out loud and smiling to myself.
The story itself is pleasant, quite predictable we would all find ourselves in her shoes. You’re compelled to continue to the end as it such an uplifting experience.

Couldn't Get Past The First Half Hour

I had to keep gritting my teeth to listen, but I have to admit defeat. Narration appalling, storyline unbelievable and characters repellent.
Even as a free audiobook this is just not worth it.
Don't bother.
