I absolutely loved reading this book. It had me hooked from the very first page as a woman in forties myself I found so much of it totally relatable even though I am one of those friends with two kids. I read it in less than a week so my kids had to go and fend for themselves as mommy was reading and couldn't possibly be disturbed while I was reading this laugh out load hilarious comedy. I found myself rather quite sad when I finished it and left wanting more . The pages just seemed to turn themselves automatically and it's not very often that the world around you just seems to disappear and you get hooked in to all the wonderful characters and feel like you actually know them and want to meet them in real life. Alexandra Potter is a fabulous author and I look forward to reading many more of her books in years to come. I can't wait to see the next books she writes.
