Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up (Confessions, 1)

Product Information

I will continue to read Alexandra Potter’s books, as from the 3 books I’ve read so far by her, I thinks she does a great job at capturing the trials and tribulations of women in their 40’s. The first Confessions book was one of my favourites of 2021. It was so original and I absolutely loved it! So I squealed with excitement at being given a copy of the sequel. V tomto prípade, téma veľmi aktuálna a rezonujúca (len teda mi chýbajú kamošky žijúce v okolí Koliby a Slavína, ale tak neprší tu tak často… všetko má svoje plus i mínus). Príbeh je písaný zrozumiteľne a bez okľúk, venuje sa všetkým témam (aj ekológii i sexu, pre krátky prehľad). Veľa deja je v dialógoch a nesnaží sa podriemkávať pri okraji. Výborné je delenie po mesiacoch v roku a tak hneď vieme, že je to jeden rok v živote našej hlavnej hrdinky. Áno, je nešťastná a stratená, ale počas roka objavuje aj pozitívne veci a zisťuje, že život sa nezastavil, tak prečo by mala ona? Neviem či by som rovno povedala, že má jedinecný zmysel pre humor či sebairóniu, ale tak uznávam, že 4 roky v Británii ma poznačili a tak je to asi skreslené. Proste mi to príde len veľmi britské so “vším šudy”. Aj čaj o piatej, aj nedeľné futbalové zápasy, vianočné panto… no proste istá nostalgia sála z každej stránky :) In the hilarious and heartfelt follow-up to Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up Nell discovers that there's no such thing as having it all figured out. It's feeling happy and content, because life is a success and all sorted out and you’re exactly where you

After reading Alexandra's first book called Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up i just had to read the second book in this brilliant First of all, to be fair to the author, she doesn’t go down the whole probably won’t have children, but might just save it at the last minute (!) and pop one out route. And you have to respect that.

A novel for any woman who wonders how the hell she got here, and why life isn't quite how she imagined it was going to be. And who is desperately trying to figure it all out when everyone around them is making gluten-free brownies. Că fericirea nu e ceva ce îți dau alții, că îți poți îndeplini obiectivele din tinerețe (soț, casă ca în reviste și copii la școli private) și tot sa nu fii fericită. Că societatea îți impune un anume model chiar dacă nu ți se potrivește și, de-a lungul timpului, te face să te îndoiești de tot ce crezi tu că ai realizat. Că trăim într-o cultură în care a fi ocupat e un modus vivendi, suntem mereu așa de ocupați ca nu mai avem timp de prieteni, de întâlniri, de comunicat real cu oamenii, comunicare înlocuită cu mesajele pe whatsapp (la un moment dat Nell își sună o prietenă sa refuze o invitație pentru că i s-a părut aiurea sa refuze prin mesaj și prietena o întreabă dacă a sunat din greșeală).Na starobe je smutné len to, že strácate priateľov a ľudí ktorých máte rada," pokračovala. Všetci naokolo vás umierajú, jeden po druhom. Prísť o Montyho nie je ľahké, ale veľkú časť života som prežila prv, ako sme sa s nim sme sa spoznali, bol workoholik a často pracovne preč. Som zvyknutá na jeho neprítomnosť... No prísť o kamarátky bolo v mnohých ohľadoch oveľa ťažšie, ako prísť oňho.. This book is a sequel to a book that I haven't read, however that didn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying this one. I wish this was more focused on the podcasts and what she actually says on them; we are told that she's getting these insane amount of followers but it's barely mentioned apart from as an anecdote and just doesn't feel well thought out. The rivalry between her and Annabel again just felt so cliche and so unnecessary in this book.
