Но встреча с Прекрасным Принцем так потрясла молодую провинциалку, что она в один момент собрала свои нехитрые пожитки и распрощалась с прежней жизнью. С визитной карточкой Чарли в сумочке и любимой собакой под мышкой она двинулась покорять Лондон... или Чарли. Мечты сбылись, но совсем не так, как загадывала Дилайла.

Главная героиня романа Фрэнки менее чем за неделю теряет все: хорошую работу, милую квартирку в престижном районе Лондона и обожаемого жениха, с которым надеялась вскоре пойти под венец. Из любимой, преуспевающей женщины она внезапно превращается в рядовую неудачницу почти без гроша в кармане.

The funniest WTF AM I DOING?! novel of the year, now in paperback

"The new Bridget Jones for our Covid-ridden times" - Telegraph

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*ck up. Even worse, a forty-something f*ck-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.

Time to fall in love with your life.

If only you knew then what you know now...

Imagine if you could meet your 21-year-old self - would you recognise her? And what advice would you give?

Wear sunscreen!
Back away from those PVC trousers?
DON'T give that idiot your phone number?
Lemon juice won't bleach your hair - it just attracts wasps...

For Charlotte Merryweather, there's no need to imagine. She's about to find out for real. With surprising consequences...

Alexandra Potter's deliciously funny and enchanting tale looks at life, love and what might happen if you could turn back time.
