Now an Audio Book
Sophie Bailey is your typical yummy mummy.
She lives in a small village where life is all coffee mornings and party plan.
Then one day, completely out of the blue, her husband left her for a younger woman.
Giving up wasn’t an option because she had a son to think of.
She had no husband, no self-esteem, no money, no job, no family to count on & zero prospects.
All she had left was her 6-year-old son, a boisterous puppy, a mad friend, a huge crush on her son’s teacher and an online dating profile - apparently!!
To add to her problems, she found herself the subject of the village gossip, pursued by the mafia (playground variety), forced into servitude and resigned to a lifetime of shopping in Poundland. To cap it all, she will be 40 in a matter of weeks.
Then just when she thought things couldn’t get any worse - her life went VIRAL!!!!
A bittersweet love story that will have you laughing out loud before crying into your latte. When life explodes around you, who can you really count on?
This is a story of shattered dreams and broken promises.
When life deals you a hard blow, you have no choice but to carry on.
Throw in a mad dose of humour and you can get through anything.
Can’t you?
I don't like to give a story away but I had been reading too many psychological thrillers & needed something light and upbeat. I stumbled on to this author S.J. Crabb and can't wait to read her other books. She's clever in that this isn't just a story of a 40 something woman being dumped, she really explores the emotions, the reality of what life is really like when you feel totally disempowered and appear to be losing control of your life. Be prepared for tears and chuckles. I loved Sophie's character, together with her nut job best friend Simone and the others were a calamity of total humour. It was exactly what I needed. I highly recommend this book and have subscribed to the authors website so that I don't miss out on any future books.
