Very funny and relatable!!

I enjoyed this book, as I couldn’t believe how Tracy had made it so relatable to my life. It made me laugh and was thought provoking at the same time. The narration by Fiona was excellent.

Loved it!

As a ‘woman of a certain age’ I really loved this story. I laughed I cried but mostly I rolled my eyes in agreement. I thought the narrator did a great job too.

LAUGHED & CRIED 4🌟🌟🌟🌟

This book was so relatable to many women my age. This listen had me laughing, agreeing, rolling my eyes, talking to myself out loud and crying with saddness . An author who can cause me to feel all of those emotions is a good one. Tracy Bloom is brilliant, I have listened and loved a lot of her books, my favourites being 'No-one has Sex on Tuesday ' Series. Fiona Boylan did her job as narrator well. This felt like a Bridget Jones Diary for 48 year old married mum's 😂👍
I recommend this book, it is worth a credit or sale buy

Fun book

I had such a good time listening to this audiobook. Lighthearted yet touching on the many pitfalls of middle aged womanhood. Ended with a smile on my face.

Fantastic

This has to be the book I can relate to the most in my life and had me laughing out loud, talking to the space around me - so many points close to home. Such an enjoyable book and yet useful in ways too x
