I was kindly given an electronic copy of More Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up by Alexandra Potter in exchange for an honest review*.
Book blurb More Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up
MORE CONFESSIONS OF A FORTY-SOMETHING F##K The laugh-out-loud sequel to the runaway bestseller of 2022 and funniest WTF AM I DOING NOW novel of the year.
There is no magical land you finally arrive at where everything is figured out, fixed and sorted.
Life, like us, is a sum of moving parts, and if we’re lucky, we get to keep f**king up, figuring it out and laughing in the face of it all.
Nell’s back.
Her life still isn’t going to plan.
And she’s still asking the big questions and getting none of the answers.
In this hilarious, un-put-downable follow-up to the bestselling Confessions of a Forty-Something F ## k Up , now the basis for the major TV series, Not Dead Yet , there are laugh-out-loud lessons to be learned, truths to be told, adventures to go on and joys to discover.
But first, Nell has some more confessions . . .
My overall thoughts on More Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up
After thoroughly enjoying Confessions of a 40-Year-Old F**k Up, I was so excited for a sequel.
We pick up around 18 months after the end of the first book, and are reintroduced to Nell, who seems to be settling into life better than she was before,
She is engaged to Edward, they are living together, and she has her trusted friendships, as well as her new best friend, Cricket, the octogenarian who she met in the first book.
The thing is, no matter how settled you think you are, life always has alternative plans, and Nell’s life is no different.
From that late urge to want motherhood to dealing with the beginnings of Perimenopause, friendships becoming fragile as everyone is dealing with their own issues and realising you might not actually have it all quite figured out.
I loved getting back in touch with Nell and her life, and though our situations are different, there was still plenty I could relate to.
And I just LOVE Cricket!
Her character develops in a brilliant way, too, showing us that age should never be a factor that writes you off.
Fantastic sequel!
Many thanks to NetGalley and PanMacmillan for an ARC.
