Summary
As recommended on Davina McCall's podcast!
Hilariously read by Sally Phillips, star of Smack the Pony, Bridget Jones Diary and Miranda - Confessions of a Forty-Something F--k Up is a must-listen for anyone whose life isn’t working out quite how they’d planned.
Now a major TV series: Not Dead Yet, starring Gina Rogriguez (Jane the Virgin), Hannah Simone (New Girl) and Lauren Ash (Superstore).
Nell Stevens’ life is a mess. When her business goes bust and her fiancé with it, Nell’s happy ever after in California falls apart and she moves back to London to start over. But a lot has changed since she’s been gone. All her single friends are now married with children, sky-high rents force her to rent a room in a stranger’s house and in a world of perfect Instagram lives, she feels like a f--k up. Even worse, a forty-something f--k up.
But when she lands a job writing obituaries, Nell meets the fabulous Cricket, an eighty-something widow with challenges of her own, and they strike up an unlikely friendship. Together they begin to help each other heal their aching hearts, cope with the loss of the lives they had planned, and push each other into new adventures and unexpected joys.
Because Nell is determined. Next year things are going to be very different. It’s time to turn her life around.
A book for anyone who’s ever worried life isn’t going to plan, Confessions of a Forty-Something F--k Up by Alexandra Potter will make you laugh and it might even make you cry. But most importantly, it will remind you that you’re not alone, because we’re all in this together.
"It made me laugh, cry, cheer - I loved it" – Hermione Norris, star of Cold Feet

Sally Phillips is a comedy genius
I loved the story and the characters but they were made so much better by Sally Phillips’ amazing narration.

Easy listen! Great read!
I’d recommend this book to anyone who is in or approaching their 40s, who need to see their life so far as: half full and not half empty!

Nice easy Read
It took me a few chapters to get into this book and I nearly considered giving up but then the book seem to grow on me. It was a little predictable at times but was a very sweet book with likable characters. I found myself laughing out loud at times. On the whole it was a very lighthearted easy lesson which I enjoyed.
