Summary

**Pick up THE FULL NEST, the brand-new hilarious novel by Fiona Gibson – OUT NOW!**

The million copy bestselling queen of romantic comedy is back with this laugh-out-loud and heart-warmingly relatable tale of a woman who has had enough

Being married to a comedian is no joke.

Kate is sick of it. Sick of being a wife, cook, dog walker and flat-pack assembler, while still being treated like a doormat. Her husband all but ignores her – unless he needs a clean shirt – and she’s constantly compelled to keep up with the (very smug) Joneses in their neighbourhood.

What happened to the fun-loving woman she used to be? At almost 50, Kate feels lost, overlooked and stuck. That is, until she comes home to one of her husband's impromptu parties – and is expected to feed their hungry guests.

And that’s it. Breaking point. The final straw.

Scrambling out of the bathroom window, Kate leaves. She has no money, no clean pants, and no plan – but a chance encounter sees her following her heart for once. And now there’s no going back…

Didn’t like the reader, and perhaps that affected how I reacted to the narrative: it felt like a well planned story with a language that didn’t make the main characters lovable.

Predictable and not funny

Easy listening and kept my interest. Tiny bit predictable but I would definitely recommend it.

intriguing plot from the start

I didn’t particularly like the narrators voice & delivery - especially when she tried to do the voice of Vince . I cringed

Nothing

This isn’t my usual genre but I was drawn in by the idea of women who “run away from it all”. The story was a bit too predictable and formulaic for me, but I guess there’s a time and place for comfortable predictability.
My main gripe was the narrator’s voice, especially with the main two male characters.
