Product Description
Product Description
Ally Bridgeman is in big trouble. Her career is going nowhere; she has a cantankerous mother, and two daughters with far more exiting love-lives than she ever had. Even her ex-husband has found himself an annoyingly perfect trophy girlfriend while all Ally is left with is an unreliable car and an elderly cat. But when she discovers her daughters are about to throw her a surprise birthday party to celebrate an age she'd rather commiserate reaching, Ally decides enough is enough. So she tells a little white lie and gains a year's reprieve. But one white lie leads to another...And when Ally finds herself attracting the attentions of a younger man, she decides to shed a few more years and have the time of her life...

I agree with the other two reviews that this is indeed a very funny, well-written book, and I also enjoyed it immensely. I am confused though that these other reviews are dated 2003 - the Kindle edition was released in 2011. So these reviews must be of the paperback edition: not necessarily the same thing. My review is of the Kindle edition. And while I loved the book - this a very talented author indeed - I was just so disappointed with the formatting/typos/punctuation errors. What is the problem here? Presumably the paperback book is error-free - is it really so very difficult to produce an ebook without errors? The formatting is so erratic it was impossible to tell what was going on at one point! It won't stop me reading this author's books again, but it will make me think twice about it. Come on, people (stamps feet). Just because we're reading on a Kindle, doesn't mean we have lower standards than everybody else.

It's a good job I now work at home as a mum and therefore do not read on the train anymore! This book had me laughing the tears out of my eyes!!! What a fantastic read! I was only going to read the first chapter before I went to sleep and ended up going to sleep, reluctantly at 3am. (and I have a 1 year old to get up to!!!) Brilliant style of writing and I can't wait to read the next. Well done Sheila!!!

By page two I really wanted to find out what happened to Ally. At times I could almost hear the conversations held with my own friends. I felt Ally's frustration "no-one believes me, I'm OK".
This book is a good read for all, but especially for women of a "certain age". If you want to know what's going on in your wife's/mum's head (or your own if you are the wife/mum!) have a read and a giggle. Can't wait to read Sheila Norton's next book.
