About this deal

This project (HNFRI) will have a damaging and detrimental effect upon the residents and environment of those living in Hinckley/Burbage and surrounding areas. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). As Fran halfheartedly attempts to relaunch her once-vibrant career as a voiceover artist and obsesses over keeping up with the ruthless mothers’ scene at her children’s school, she begins to realize that her thirty-seventh year isn’t going to resemble the midlife bliss she had imagined. The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged. But Amy's life isn't all it seems, in fact she is keeping THE BIGGEST SECRET IN THE WORLD, EVER, a secret that will shame her to her family and friends and that she mustn't ever,ever let out.

As someone whose 37th birthday is quickly approaching, I could not turn down the opportunity to read this novel by Maria Beaumont. When everything is finally turned upside down on the night of her party, Fran has to choose between finding a way to recreate herself or give in to the alcoholism that runs in her family and potentially ruin her children’s childhood. Conversation aside, life in upper-middle class London isn’t all that much different than it is here in the United States.

Fran’s relationship with her husband suffers from what sadly happens far too often after children are born. Filled with acute, often bitingly funny observations about motherhood, friendship, and the claustrophobia of suburbia, this pitch-perfect novel will resonate with any woman who has ever been stricken with self-doubt. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. It conjures up images of fluffy airheads who are too vacuous to read anything that doesn't have the words, 'yummy' or 'mummy' or 'slummy' in them.

No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins.

If I had written a beautiful, selfless, supremely intelligent heroine, would the same women have seen themselves in the book then?

In the mad, bad days following her breakup with the georgous but despicabel Kake, Amy took a pseudonym and wrote a novel detailing the incredible sexploits of one Donna Sanderson, the 'Indiana Jones of Shagging', a book that 'pits fresh-faced girly wit against sweaty pelvis-pounding eroticism' (Cosmopolitan), 'subverts the chick-lit genre with a coruscating shock of raw, hard sex' (Time Out), and disgusts this reviewer to the very core of his being' (Daily Telegraph).But with her confidence shot and a husband who no longer knows how to help her, most days all she sees is the bottom of a wine glass. We take pride in offering a wide selection of used books, from classics to hidden gems, ensuring there is something for every literary palate.
