'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 . . .
Confessions of a Forty-Something F--k Up by Alexandra Potter will make you laugh, and it might even make you cry. Above all, it will remind you that you're not on your own – we're all in this together.

Enjoyable rom-com
Very long book, but at times laugh out loud funny. Couldn't help but draw similarities between Bridget Jones and even pictured Edward played by Colin Firth.
For a modern day Bridget Jones, it's up there with a good funny love story, where the girl gets the guy in the end.

Nice light story
Although predictable, I did find the characters were well written so I cared about them enough to keep listening. An enjoyable, light read.

Very entertaining but volume inconsistent
Great story but audio volume was not consistent - very annoying at times when trying to listen quietly in bed and had to keep adjusting the volume.
