About this listen
Maggie Cotton's life is a hot mess.
In one day, she's dumped by her boyfriend, disinherited by her mum, and kicked off the three-year degree course she'd stretched to a decade. And that was before she received the letter saying she owed the government $70,000.
But that's no reason to grow up, is it?
With a decrepit 1960s caravan to call home, Maggie has to prove to her mother she can survive without a safety net, stop her loyal best friend Jen from marrying a scumbag, and convince her sexy workmate Rueben that she's not a walking disaster. For someone who's spent her life avoiding hard work, she sure can move mountains when she's got a little motivation - just don't ask her to move the caravan.©2020 Rose Hartley (P)2020 Penguin Random House Australia
Critic Reviews
"A compulsive and hilarious read. In Maggie, Hartley has created one of those indelible characters of whom we must thoroughly disapprove and yet cannot help but love." (Karen Joy Fowler)

Slow Start
The story was a slow start and didn't really go any where. Maggie is a late bloomer and finally finds her way.
The narrator was very stilted to start and find her way about quarter the way through.
Over all it was OK but not great.

Funny as a fit
Just wrote the title of this review and realised that fits are probably not funny but neither are the many circumstances that Maggie finds herself in, however, I really did laugh out loud as I walked and listened to this audible book. I though the narrator did an excellent job and the character of Maggie was well established through her interactions with others. The book highlights a number of important social issues but is entertaining and not at all laboured.

Best read this year
Most fun book that actually made me laugh out loud in bed in the dark at 1am because I couldn’t stop listening to it I’m recommending it to ever I know ... thank you so much to the author and narrator for the best time I’ve had during the Covid-19 lockdown. 😊
Cheers

Surprisingly funny
This book had my giggling in the first few minutes, which is a rare feat for me.
I usually don't read books this light and fluffy because I end up rolling my eyes too frequently and getting frustrated. however, this was enjoyable all the way through.

LOVED it!
Miranda Tapsell should be bottled! She is one of the best Australian narrators I've ever heard! 🏆🏆🏆 She absolutely brought this quirky, raucous tale into full colour. You won't regret listening to this book.

What a top book
Just love this book. It was a pleasure to accompany the Author on her physical and emotional journey of Maggie's emotional and chaotic life. So sad when I finished it.
