Publisher's summary

A warm, funny read for fans of Outnumbered and the novels of Fern Britton, Fiona writes about life as it really is.

"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....

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.

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.
