Book Description

February 4, 2008
Whoever said life began at 40 was dead right! A riotous romantic comedy about never-ending motherhood, second chances and growing old disgracefully. What do you do when: Mr Could Do Worse dumps you on the very night you think he's going to propose? Your twenty-something son turns up on your doorstep, with a broken heart and dirty washing in tow? You find out you're going to be a granny - at 45? Your son's maybe ex-girlfriend's father starts making wickedly naughty suggestions? Your ex's new bit of stuff wants to become your new best friend? Your 70-year-old father is dating someone young enough to be your sister? You make the same mistakes you made in your twenties two whole decades later? You can't get the one person you want out of your head? You grab the vodka and wonder if you're too old for all this crap!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very entertaining read, September 5, 2011
This review is from: Mum's the Word (Paperback)
Susie, confidently expecting her lover of three years Robert, to propose, is shocked when he announces that he is trading her in for a younger, model capable of bearing children Susie's son arriving home and moving in at the very moment that Robert is about to give his speel is another calamity. Things go down hill from there...

A thoroughly entertaining read! I wanted to beat the son and daughter to a pulp, Robert needed a good swift kick up the kybosh and as for the rest of them...sheesh! The only one with any common sense apart from Susie, is Milo the dog and of course - well, I don't believe in giving spoilers!

I recommend this novel to anyone who likes a good, light read :)
