This was my first Alexandra Potter book - she was an author recommended to me by one of my best friends and I knew I would enjoy it as she has never been wrong yet.
I loved this story and I loved Nell!
It always helps when you like the main character in a book and Nell was kind, funny and very relatable.
Her reactions to some situations made me laugh out loud and the way she described things were spot on.
A lovely book that I would recommend to everyone who ever felt that life was unpredictable, doesn't always go to plan and that not everything is how it may seem at a glance.
Proud to say I'm a forty something fuck up! 😂👍🏻
