About the book

It’s normal to prefer getting a filling at the dentist’s to spending time with your husband, right?

I thought I was sorted on the life front. I was a heart surgeon with a loving partner and two gorgeous little girls. Except my husband’s version of ‘loving’ is lying, cheating and sleeping his way around London. Which means I definitely deserve a refund.

Unfortunately, moving on isn’t that simple. Just because I know how to operate on a heart doesn’t mean I know how to fix my broken one. Plus, I lost the receipt for him years ago so I’m definitely getting short changed.

But now I’m single, am I ready to mingle? There are a few minor issues:

1) The last time I went on a date double denim was in fashion and my eyebrows were horrendously overplucked.
2) Men wear stupidly skinny jeans now.
3) I don’t know how to use dating apps but at least I don’t have to get changed out of my pyjamas.
4) Sometimes the most promising thing you have in common with a guy is a shared love of prawns.
5) I don’t know whether to open a date with ‘hi’ or ‘hello’ or ‘hey’ and once I ended up saying ‘howdy’.

Everything happens for a reason, they say. There’s plenty more fish in the sea. But what happens when everything falls apart and you haven’t got a clue how to go fishing?

An absolutely hilarious and utterly relatable tale for anyone who has ever survived a nightmare relationship, felt a little lonely or nursed a broken heart with wine and carbs. This feel-good novel will get you back on your feet and genuinely laughing out loud. Perfect for fans of Why Mummy Drinks, Sophie Ranald and Sophie Kinsella.

My Review

As a huge fan of this author’s previous book I was extremely excited for this and could not wait to tuck in! I absolutely loved the main character in this Emma, she has been through so much and we see all the highs and lows she goes through and you can’t help but feel for her. I really enjoyed the involvement of her sisters they just make the story sound so real and they are hilarious some of the things they come of with. This book is jam packed with so so many laugh out loud moments honestly I just couldn’t stop laughing. Also I found this very easy to read and it only took me 2 days to read itbwas that good I just flew through it. 
I must say Kristen Bailey is being to be one of my favourite authors and I can’t wait to read her next book - fingers crossed we don’t have to wait long!
