Product Information

Mám osemdesiatjeden rokov a za ten dlhý čas, čo som na tejto zemi, som prišla na jedno: ak si v živote naozaj zaslúžite, je to sloboda a odvaha povedat neviem. When everything goes tits up, do you fall apart or jump on a plane to LA with Cricket (an eighty-something widow and your BFF)?

And I could relate to Nell quite a lot which is a credit to Potter writing her character really well. I’m right around Nell’s age and honestly I sometimes feel like I’m battling life while others around me are smooth sailing along. I feel like this book could have been so well done because there were some really good moments and i like the message that we're all told we're fuck ups and we're not, I just wish it came across more in the whole book.Mums get brilliant TV series like ‘Motherland’ (which I’m considering watching for the 3rd time this lockdown). There is nothing out there that’s I’ve found so far in literature for women like us and when I saw this book, I thought ‘about time! PLEASE NOTE: The publication date for Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k- Up has been pushed back to 31st December 2020.

Mi-a plăcut ideea că viața nu este niciodată perfectă așa cum pare de pe rețelele de socializare, indiferent că ești single, căsătorită, cu copii, stay at home mom, cu o carieră de succes sau muncind te miri ce pentru a-ți plăti chiria. A life affirming, insightful, savvy and meaningful contemporary fiction piece, I am very happy to send my full recommendation to Confessions of a Forty Something by Alexandra Potter. Că cel mai important lucru este sănătatea și viața și că nu-ți dai seama de asta până nu ești pe punctul de a le pierde. As they increasingly spend time together Nell and Cricket help other heal through the struggles as they both move on in their new places in life.

All in all a light read, nothing heavy was expected and all taken in the manner in which [I] expected. Výborné je delenie po mesiacoch v roku a tak hneď vieme, že je to jeden rok v živote našej hlavnej hrdinky. In her forties and feeling like a failure and so far removed from all these bullocky and unrealistic bloody hashtags, she is childless and feeling more than less than. It made me incredibly angry and I thought, presumptuously, that other women in my position must be hating it - that the author totally missed her target audience.

Laugh-out-loud funny and painfully relatable, Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up is a celebration of friendship and a reminder that while life doesn’t always go according to plan, it doesn’t mean you can’t find happiness. 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. O ir apskritai, pagrindinė veikėja pasirodė šiek tiek be asmenybės – ji visiems paslaugi, gera ir atlaidi, taip, turinti tam tikrų savo keistenybių, bet jos pakankamai švelnios, o daugiau. Nell's journey from sunny California back to the drizzling streets of London after her business and relationship crash faster than a poor Wi-Fi connection is equal parts hilarious and heart-tugging.Edward stays in the city during the week and leaves for the weekend to stay with his family and Nell figures the 3 days of freedom make up for the never ending furnace, electricity and toilet paper roll wars.

tajne pod perinou knihy, svietiac si baterkou, a snívala o vášnivých romanciach a cestovaní do ďalekých krajín.She sets out by writing 5 things she’s grateful for (well just one for now, she’ll have to work her way up to 5). Svet dokonalých životov na sociálnych sieťach v nej vyvoláva pocity ešte väčšej mizérie a osamelosti. că poți fi fericită și mâncând avocado și sport pe pâine (ok, fără pâine) dar și pufuleți cu brânză și ciocolată și să te simți bine in pielea ta chiar dacă nu te mai încap aceleași haine. I absolutely loved their friendship and it shows that you can make new friends when you get older and also friends don't really have to be the same age. I loved her friendships with Cricket, Fiona and Arthur and I got so caught up in her life that I was telling my husband about her antics as if she was a real person.
