Summary

A Sunday Times bestseller, Where's My Happy Ending? asks the questions you've always wondered: What is ‘happily ever after’? How do you make love last? Is there such a thing as ‘the one’?

Maybe you’ve just had a first date with ‘the one’, maybe you’ve been married for ten years. Either way, it’s hard to know if they’re really meant to be by your side until you both wear dentures. In this book Anna Whitehouse and Matt Farquharson, co-founders of the Mother Pukka website and authors of the Sunday Times bestseller Parenting the Sh*t Out of Life, set out to discover what it takes to make it to forever, by asking our greatest questions about love.

They ask a former sex-worker and her ex-gigolo husband, celibate monks and free-loving hippies. They ask people who never wanted kids and people who have loads of them. They speak to couples, throuples and singles; gay, straight and anywhere in-between.

And in asking these questions, they are forced to confront their own relationship after a decade of marriage. Join Anna and Matt on a searingly honest, belly-laugh inducing journey through love and relationships, social media and small children, expert advice and everyday exasperation, as they navigate the muddy waters of modern romance.

Critic reviews

As entertaining as it is instructive . . . Surprisingly funny and touching.
Wise and funny
As a divorced single mother, thank God there is none of that smug, married-couple twattery in this book. I loved it. (Jane Garvey, BBC presenter)
The honesty, wit and wisdom in this book makes it a joy to read. There’s a genuine drive to get to the bottom of our often questionable romantic philosophy. It’s painful and funny – and painfully funny. (Emma Freud)
They both write and engage with the reader so playfully and willingly. There’s such intimacy and lightness at the same time that there’s intensity and great substance. This is a delightful book that takes us into the depths of the modern human condition. An essential psychological exploration. (Charlotte Fox Weber, Head of Psychotherapy at The School of Life)
Funny, emotional, brilliant. (Katie Piper)
The book is a hoot – hilarious and heartfelt; Anna and Matt have done it again. I didn't know how much I needed to read this, a book that goes deep into the nitty gritty, beyond the Disney lies and "They Lived Happily Ever Afters". As someone about to get married, I absolutely loved this, and will keep it firmly on my bookshelf to remind me that life and love can be messy and hard, but it doesn't mean we're doing it wrong. (Emma Gannon)
This book made us laugh, cry and remember where it all started for us. In a garage. With the smell of petrol in the air. Memories! (Chris and Rosie Ramsey, Founders of Shagged, Married, Annoyed.)
A glorious mix of writing that’s both painfully honest and painfully funny. (Ellie Taylor)
This book left me laughing so very hard and equally blubbing with tears, often within a few pages. I've never read anything that so perfectly captures the questions we all have about family and life and happiness, and that leaves you with such an uplifting finish that you want to go and hug all your loved ones harder than ever. (Jools Oliver)
Fantastically unsmug (Woman’s Hour)

Fun and surprisingly informative modern insights into relationships. Great book with both funny and emotional bits. Never a dull momemt but plenty of take away food for thought...

Really enjoyed this book on relationships

Being a fan of Anna's work on flex appeal and the podcast with Ellie, I had big expectations, and I honestly loved it.
Hugely refreshing to hear a couple so honest and open. They have a fantastic dynamic as a couple, which really comes over in this audio.
Highly recommended!

Loved it!

I really loved this, one of the best audio books i’ve listened too as the narration gets the humour across on what can be sometimes difficult topics. It was so open, brave, insightful and really helpful for anyone trying to understand long-term relationships. The final extra bit cracked me up to re Jason and Kylie reference! Thank you Anna and Matt for putting yourself out there for this book.

Loved this. A must listen

I feel armed, informed and heartened having listened to Anna & Matt’s honest and clever take on love and happiness.
It was a bit of a slog for me personally to get through the Tinder & porn sections but possibly useful to others living in a more modern society (not half way up a foreign mountain!) But well rewarded by the ending! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Ammunition for life!

Absolutely love listening to Anna and Matt and their honest account and findings on love, life marriage, kids and chaos. We indeed spend our lives with an inherent belief in Happy every after, it is comforting to know not many people live in a fairy tale. And my take/mistakes/general inept attempt at life isn’t all that dissimilar to many others. Well worth a listen/read.

Engaging listen with a brutal yet comforting insight into others happy ending.
