I have read countless books about mothers - post natal depression, mums struggling to cope, mums struggling with society’s expectations to be perfect.

Yorkshire born and raised, Alexandra lives in London with her Californian husband and their Bosnian rescue dog. mai tare ideea nu că viața nu e perfectă ci că există infinite feluri de perfecțiuni ale vieții, că fiecare dintre noi are și bucurii și greutăți și dureri și momente în care suntem mai sus sau mai jos în viața personală sau profesională sau amândouă. One of the highlights is Nell's unexpected friendship with Cricket, an octogenarian with as much sass as wisdom. Yeah, they patched up and everything but it was unfair to Nell and I was mad on her behalf I guess because Nell forgave too quickly.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. But then I saw that a few women who reviewed this were childless and single in their forties and loved it. Sigur, pe măsură ce mă apropii și eu de 40, o să mai am nevoie să o recitesc pe Nell și să-mi amintesc de prietena ei simpatică Cricket care îți arată că există viață în tine și la 80 și ceva de ani. je plný križovatiek, alternatív a rozhodnutí, a vyvíja sa na nás veľkž nátlak, aby sme robili tie správne. I despaired with Nell as she dealt with a number of common problems faced by forty somethings, there were funny moments, but also areas of pure understanding.

Posledná veta: Oprava: Po odovzdaní do tlače bolo potvrdené, že uvedená štyridsiatnička nie je mŕtva, ako sa chybne uvádzalo, ale v skutočnosti si veselo užíva svoj posratý život. But Nell gets over her predicament so quickly that it makes you wonder whether it was ever really a problem to begin with. Together they begin to help each other heal their aching hearts, cope with the loss of the lives they had planned, and push each other into new adventures and joy. This was carefully handled by the author, again linking in to the overall message that this book seems to convey we must embrace life and do with it what we can, with what we have. I could sympathise with Nell’s lack of confidence and sheer dissatisfaction with the direction of her life.If I could put those things aside it would be a 5 star read for pure entertainment (and a few emotional tears).
