About this listen

 The big-hearted, hilariously relatable romantic comedy from the Sunday Times bestseller and author of Kindle sensation The Woman Who Ran Away from Everything.

“Midlife crisis? WHAT midlife crisis?!”

Charlotte Bristow is worried about her husband Will. With her 16-year-old daughter Rosie newly signed to a top modelling agency, and Will recently out of a job, things are changing in their household.

As Will dusts down his old leather trousers and starts partying with their new, fun neighbours, Charlotte begins to wonder what on earth is going on.

So when Fraser, Charlotte’s ex – and father of Rosie – suddenly arrives back on the scene, she starts to imagine what might have been…

This is the fourth book I have read by this author. I thoroughly enjoyed the others but was a bit disappointed with this one. I only finished it a few days ago and now I am struggling to remember what it was about! The main character Charlotte just went on and on about how old she was, how everything had gone 'south' etc. etc... How old was she? 65? 80? 90? No, she was 38 for goodness sake!!! Parts of the book that were supposed to be humourous, (as in previous books by this author) were read in such a humourless way by the narrator that the point was completely missed. Not much of a storyline. I will still purchase books by this author though as all her previous ones have been brilliant.

Good but not great
