What to expect
Read by Sally Phillips
Meet Nell. She’s like the thousands of women who’ve fallen in love with her story. Because most of us wonder why life isn’t turning out quite as we imagined. From bedside to poolside, this book is the perfect summer listen. It will make you laugh and it may make you cry. But above all, it will remind you that you’re not on your own. If you enjoy Bridget Jones, Dolly Alderton, Ruth Jones and Marian Keyes – you’ll love Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up.
'The new Bridget Jones' – Telegraph
'Say hello to a book that will have you laughing with every page, whether you're 20, 40 or 80' – Heat
A novel for any woman who wonders how the hell she got here, and why life isn't quite how she imagined it was going to be. And who is desperately trying to figure it all out when everyone around them is making gluten-free brownies.
Meet Nell. Her life is a mess.
In a world of perfect Instagram lives, she feels like a disaster. But when she starts a secret podcast and forms an unlikely friendship with Cricket, an eighty-something widow, things begin to change. Because Nell is determined. This time next year things will be very different. But first, she has a confession . . .
'Brilliant! Laughing out loud' – Emma Gannon, podcaster (Ctrl Alt Delete) and author of Olive
'Funny but layered, light-hearted but surprisingly deep' – Red
As recommended on Davina McCall's Making the Cut podcast.
