Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up: The Funniest WTF AM I DOING? Novel of the Year (Confessions, 1)

Product Information

In the sequel to the bestselling Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up, there are a lot more lessons to be learned, truths to be told, adventures to go on and joys to discover. But first, she has some more confessions... I had not heard of this author, and it was a 'stumble across' as I browsed an interstate catalogue (the perks of working in a library, and knowing where to look for the location of a book, Australia wide). BorrowBox is great! The book features an array of wonderful friendships. From cross generational, to long distance, to the support you find when someone has seen you at your best, and your lowest, over many years. All of these pressures and stigmas – aren’t many of them propagated not by men but women, though? “Women do have a competitive streak, but I think that’s in life generally, and on the contrary I have always found them to be very supportive of one another.”

Na starobe je smutné len to, že strácate priateľov a ľudí ktorých máte rada," pokračovala. Všetci naokolo vás umierajú, jeden po druhom. Prísť o Montyho nie je ľahké, ale veľkú časť života som prežila prv, ako sme sa s nim sme sa spoznali, bol workoholik a často pracovne preč. Som zvyknutá na jeho neprítomnosť... No prísť o kamarátky bolo v mnohých ohľadoch oveľa ťažšie, ako prísť oňho.. It's not just about returning to the 'adulting' arena after a colossal fumble; it's about coming to terms with the reality that sometimes life's GPS loses signal. Even in the middle of London.

Pokiaľ ide o peniaze, stačí plánovať šesť mesiacov dopredu - o mesiac dlhšie a budeš v panike, o mesiac kratšie a kúpiš si tie nemožné šaty, ktoré si nikdy neoblečieš.

not a big deal and I don’t say, ‘it’s just a question of perspective, just be positive!’ Because it’s not helpful. 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. My bookclub friends will appreciate this one. ——‘When did I stop buying expensive lingerie and start buying expensive hoovers? Worst still when did I start getting excited about my new hoover?’ Nell is our forty-something protagonist, she represents so many women, in our different ways. She is intimidated by the yummy mummy brigade, she isn’t proficient at yoga, hates air-kissing and high heels. These character traits tell me she is definitely one of my tribe.

Summary

In this instalment, it looks like Nell has her life under control, her ship is sailing smoothly. Maybe she isn’t such a f##k up after all? Or are the wheels about to come off her wagon again? the adventures that Nell has sharing a flat. It makes me glad that I don’t have to fight with a landlord about my house thermostat. Just my husband! Hi and welcome to Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up, the podcast for any woman who wonders how the hell she got here, and why life isn’t quite how she imagined it was going to be.’ One is the “relationship” with the hot dad/uncle. I felt there could have been more added to Nell & Johnny’s story and I was disappointed by the outcome. Nell handled it very mature which on one hand was great but I wanted it handled in the “Nell” way. It was just cut too short and tied in too neat a bow. As Nell's story unfolds there is lots of laughter, lots of tears, life throws many curved balls when you are a childless, unmarried forty year old with a boyfriend who has a spreadsheet for everything, parents who have accepted " Alexa" as a family member, an eighty year old best friend who has more "get up and go" than you have ever had and who wears dungarees and silver plimsoles, three best friends with husbands and children who are all living the dream............or are they ? a glamorous old friend who re emerges, an old friend who can do "put downs" in the most sophisticated way, an old friend who also flirts with your boyfriend.
