Description
--------------------------
'One of the freshest, funniest, most exciting new voices I’ve read for a long time' JANE FALLON
'Fresh and funny and REAL ... Martha really spoke to me. She will steal everyone's heart!' VERONICA HENRY
'Beautifully written and emotionally intelligent. I rooted for Martha from the start.' Daily Mail
Meet Martha Ross. She dreams of being a singer, but she’s been working in a call centre for far too long. She’s separating from her husband, the father of her son. And she’s moving back home to her parents’ as a single mum, toddler in tow.
Life has thrown her a few lemons . . . but Martha intends to make a gin and tonic. It’s time to become the woman she’s always wanted to be. And at least her mum’s on hand to provide childcare – and ample motherly judgement, of course.
Soon Martha realises that in order to find lasting love and fulfilment, she needs to find herself first . . . But her attempts at reinvention – from writing a definitive wish list of everything she wants in a new man, to half-marathons, business plans and meditation retreats – tend to go awry in the most surprising of ways . . .
A warm, vibrant and painfully funny novel for fans of Why Mummy Drinks, Fiona Gibson and Lucy Vine.

An enjoyable read .... main character Martha struggles to deal with the collapse of her marriage and we see her fall into the life of a single parent relying on parents and friends to get her through. Good characters - moving at times and a message that what we wish for isn’t always the best thing !

Equal parts heartwarming and funny, uplifting and lovely. I can see this going far in the way of Jojo Moyes, Rachel Joyce, Catherine Bennetto.
