![]() ![]() To help her get over her writer's block, her agent Diana urges her to take a break. Which is particularly unfortunate when you're a romance writer. Ruby's fiance cheated on her and now she doesn't believe in love anymore. I especially loved the daily gratitudes list. This book reminded me how much I enjoy Alexandra Potter’s writing (it has been at least five years since I last read one of her books!) It’s a wryly humorous tale about a woman who is not where she thought she’d be by her forties. Having to move into shared housing, she is feeling rather like a forty-something f*ck-up.Īfter landing a job writing obituaries, Nell forms a friendship with a lively widow twice her age and starts a podcast about not having your shit together. While she’s been away, her friends have all settled down and started families. Nell has returned to the UK from California after the collapse of her business and relationship. ![]() The perfect sort of book to curl up with on a rainy weekend. This was a lovely, life-affirming read about community, loneliness and moving on after loss. Harry helps her meet people on their daily walks, including Valentine, an old man whose wife has gone into care for Alzheimer’s, and young Stanley who doesn’t quite fit in. She buys a rundown cottage that needs renovations and adopts a rescue dog, Harry. Liv is going through the stages of grief after her divorce and has moved out of London to the Yorkshire Dales, where she has fond childhood memories. ![]()
