About this listen

 "When you're not getting any, sex is EVERYWHERE. I've also developed a paranoia that people can sense that Josh and I haven't had sex for 180 nights. There are prison sentences shorter than this."

Amy Elman's To Do List:
- Start wedding planning
- Buy lingerie
- Have sex again

Amy has her entire life planned out: marry her fiancé Josh, move out of their London flat and live happily ever after in the countryside.

There's just one problem - Amy and Josh haven't had sex in 180 days. She's counted.

So when Josh's family decide to throw them a surprise wedding, Amy scrambles to cross everything off her to-do list... including Josh.

With the help of a glass of red wine (or two), Amy steps out of her star-patterned pyjamas and into a world of too-tight lingerie and sex-positive affirmations.

As the big day approaches, will Amy's luck finally turn around? Will her and Josh be one of those couples who just never have sex? Or will she start to realise that love isn't something that can be checked off a list so easily?

Don't miss this brand-new laugh-out-loud novel about friendship, relationship woes, and finding your self-worth, perfect for fans of Kristen Bailey and Sophie Ranald!

My 70 year old wife started listening to this on the first day of our holiday and hardly stopped until she finished it on the 2nd.
She loved the title character and her mysterious friend
Lace. She also said it had a satisfying ending and she has learnt a thing or two ;-).

So good her ears ached!
