As Good As It Gets?

By: Fiona Gibson

Narrated by: Jenny Funnell

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…

Critic reviews

‘Warm, funny and poignant.’ Daily Mail

‘The voice of modern woman.’ Marie Claire

‘More than funny, it’s true.’ Elle

‘Frivolous fun.’ Grazia

'This comical but insightful story of motherhood, love and chaotic family life is a real charmer.' Closer

’Brilliant…manages to capture family life perfectly.’ Chick Lit Reviews

I didn't love it, even though I wanted to

The wishy-washy way this woman interacts with her family is so annoying. Good narration

Enjoyed but a little slow

Any additional comments?

I was slightly disappointed but kept listening. The story is nice but drags on a bit and doesn't get to the "crescendo" , so to speak, until the end then everything happens. I kept listening and enjoyed it but sometimes I would think to myself, come on, get on with it. Voice was good. The authors second book, The Woman who met her Match, is better than this one.

Slow at the end

Great story funny. Ending a bit slower to get to a point. dragged on too long.

An easy read

Storyline is a bit predictable but the characters are good and it moves along at a good pace, is well written and humorous.

lovely story

this was a really great book. I couldn't stop listening. it was a pretty simple story but I did enjoy it because I feel like it was more interesting than my life haha. anyways I highly recommend it
