About this listen
The laugh-out-loud Sunday Times best seller is back and funnier than ever! Perfect for fans of Why Mummy Drinks.
When her 18-year-old twins leave for university, single mum Nadia’s life changes in ways she never expected: her Glasgow flat feels suddenly huge, laundry doesn’t take up half her week, and she no longer has to buy ‘the Big Milk’. After almost two decades of putting everyone else first, Nadia is finally taking care of herself. And with a budding romance with new boyfriend Jack, she’s never felt more alive.
That is until her son, Alfie, drops out of university, and Nadia finds her empty nest is empty no more. With a heartbroken teenager to contend with, Nadia has to ask herself: is it ever possible for a mother to get her own life back? And can Jack and Nadia’s relationship survive having a sulky teenager around?
A gloriously funny and uplifting audiobook perfect for fans of Gill Sims and Jill Mansell.

Thoroughly enjoyable!!
This book was so good, down to earth romance with people in their 40s and 50s rather than the usual 20 somethings.
All of the characters were brilliant and believable. Nadia and Jack were lovely characters. Nadias son Alfie was hilarious. So was Ian who worked in the charity shop managed by Jack.
Very witty and amusing, it had me laughing out loud at times.
RECOMMENDED 5*

Just ok
The story was ok but The female narrator was just awful! I don’t know why she made her son sound so whiney and with incredibly slow diction! I found this so irritating after about 5 minutes. Was kinda glad when it came to an end.

Easy listening !
Enjoyable book, and if you have kids that have flown the nest to go to uni, it’s easy to identify with the story!

Nope
Storyline is dry, female narrator is really engaging but the male voice- not so much
