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

Product Information

Thankfully it was easy enough to catch up and work most of it out, except now I want to read book one because what a TREAT! This is just that kind of warm, hilarious, insightful and relatable read which I love, and Nell and her friends are now firm favourites - the friendships really were the heart of this for me 🫶

However, I am not sure what I think about this book. It for sure gives you with it promises in the title: more confessions. This novel simply follows Nell and her opinions about life. Some are brilliant, some are not, I agree with some, with some I don't agree... But altogether, for me, the plot was not strong and felt mixed up. On the other hand, there are many, many points that resonated with me and there are for sure many, many women out there with same thoughts and feeling.Interestingly, despite its title suggesting a niche appeal, readers across the board can resonate with this book. Whether you're in your twenties thinking, "Is this my future?" or cruising through your forties murmuring, "Been there, done that," there's a slice of life in here for everyone.

Life is definitely not a fairytale! I absolutely loved the first book and ‘more confessions’ was just as good… what I like about the writing is the raw and real life approach, as someone in her 40s this book resonates with me, relationships take work, nothing is as perfect as people make it out to be on social media and this confronts that! It's feeling happy and content, because life is a success and all sorted out and you’re exactly where youBecause it's only when you're ready to surrender the life you thought you were going to live that you finally get the life you were always meant to live."
