There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. But whilst the first book was special because of being so relatable when you are in your forties, this one now is a bit more classic chick-lit.

Celia Walden, Telegraph The story of Nell Stevens’ struggle through her imperfect, messy life doesn’t just make brilliant fiction, it’s turning into a cultural revolution! Another piece of sage advice I loved, coming from Nell’s eighty-something, ex-actress friend, oddly known as Cricket, was ‘Don’t worry about getting older, worry about becoming dull,’ although even she admits ‘ageing is not for sissies. I thought SOD IT myself this morning as I ditched ‘a bit of a sleeve’ and let the bingo wings out and proud on my forty something own body! I enjoyed the main characters in this book, especially Cricket, Nell's octogenarian best friend, who definitely doesn't act her age and doesnt care what others think!And revisiting LA with Cricket is an opportunity for Nell to take a look at the life, and people, she left behind. She's mentioned it - as anyone would if their book is set during that time - but it's not a main plot point.

Nell has to navigate choppy waters during these twelve months, with one friend seriously unwell, ‘you can’t worry someone well’, says Cricket wisely; another contemplating divorce – oh, and another. Nell, the narrator, is quite a different character from Bridget Jones and this novel has quite a different tone.Life is not all fun and games – ‘you can’t hide forever’The Pandemic is over and social get-togethers are once more allowed (yes, there will be a few novels about the Pandemic - before, during and after). This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. So full *ahem* confession - I still hadn’t read the first book when I picked this up and assumed that because I’d watched the TV series based on it, I’d be good to go. This novel isn't just a sequel; it's a continuation of a journey that reminds us that life's path is rarely linear.

Alexandra Potter is the bestselling author of romantic comedy fiction novels in the UK, including Me and Mr Darcy. The novel explores society’s attitude to age, to women, to parenthood and loss, to family and relationships – of all kinds –and the importance of friendships and of talking. Whilst sharing the flat with not only Edward and their dog, but also his two teenage sons, a surprise pregnancy test throws Nells World into a spin. Alexandra’s novel, One Good Thing, is still one of my forever favourites, and I loved how different this book was to it, whilst still being every bit as wonderful and addictive. arī daudz uzskatāmāki piemēri tam, cik ļoti visi mēdz kļūdīties un justies kā neveiksminieki tad, kad visi citi domā, ka tev ir viss ir ļoti labi.
