Confessions of a Forty Something

CONFESSIONS OF A FORTY SOMETHING
By ALEXANDRA POTTER

Hilarious, poignant, utterly relatable " Confessions of a Forty Something is a must-read for anyone whose life isn't working out quite how they'd planned.


Nell Stevens' life is a mess. When her business goes bust and her relationship 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 an old work contact lands her a job writing obituaries, Nell meets the fabulous Cricket, an eighty something widow, who is also adjusting to her new life and they strike up an unlikely friendship. Together they 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. But Nell is determined – she is going to completely turn her life around, promising to herself that this time next year things are going to be very different.
It's time for Nell to fall in love with her life (not the man).
