About this listen
**PRE-ORDER THE FULL NEST, THE NEXT HILARIOUS NOVEL BY FIONA GIBSON**
A laugh-out-loud and heart-warmingly relatable tale of a woman who has had enough from the author of The Woman Who Took a Chance
Being married to a comedian is no joke.
Kate is sick of it. Sick of being a wife, cook, dog walker and flat-pack assembler, while still being treated like a doormat. Her husband all but ignores her – unless he needs a clean shirt – and she’s constantly compelled to keep up with the (very smug) Joneses in their neighbourhood.
What happened to the fun-loving woman she used to be? At almost 50, Kate feels lost, overlooked and stuck. That is, until she comes home to one of her husband's impromptu parties – and is expected to feed their hungry guests.
And that’s it. Breaking point. The final straw.
Scrambling out of the bathroom window, Kate leaves. She has no money, no clean pants, and no plan – but a chance encounter sees her following her heart for once. And now there’s no going back…

Nothing
I didn’t particularly like the narrators voice & delivery - especially when she tried to do the voice of Vince . I cringed

intriguing plot from the start
Easy listening and kept my interest. Tiny bit predictable but I would definitely recommend it.

Easy listening
This isn’t my usual genre but I was drawn in by the idea of women who “run away from it all”. The story was a bit too predictable and formulaic for me, but I guess there’s a time and place for comfortable predictability.
My main gripe was the narrator’s voice, especially with the main two male characters.

Heartwarming, Relatable
I loved this book, very heartwarming particularly for woman 45+,as it really is relatable. It was a breath of fresh air to read about the real life issues woman of certain ages face. There was the right level of humour also. I particularly liked that the writer captured the deep rooted love and maternal instinct of a step parent too, this is often taken lightly and not realistically in books.
