Meet Nell. Her life is a mess.

In a world of perfect Instagram lives, she feels like a disaster. But when she starts a secret podcast and forms an unlikely friendship with Cricket, an eighty-something widow, things begin to change. Because Nell is determined. This time next year things will be very different. But first, she has a confession . . .

A great listen

You will love the main character and all her self deprecating humour.
The story rang so true that I had to remind myself it was a wonderful work of fiction.
The reader is fresh and easy to listen to and breathes life into the characters.
I breezed through the book, wanting to know what happened next.

Very Funny

This book is similar to Bridget Jones diary in terms of tone. The narrator was immensely enjoyable and her accents weren't a disaster so that was good. All and all absolutely would recommend.

Funny and encouraging

Very funny book. It was a encouraging book for people who think it is too late to follow their dreams and make a change. Highly recommend the audio version.
