Review: Confessions of a Forty-Something Fuck Up by Alexandra Potter


Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up by Alexandra Potter


Nell is 40-something, just broken up from her husband-to-be, and her business is in financial ruin. She's on the edge, and, feeling sorry for herself, begins a podcast called 'The Confessions of a 40-Something Fuck Up'. She also meets Cricket, an 80-something widow who helps to her look at life differently, and Nell begins to realise that maybe 40-something isn't so bad after all.

I'm 24, and I loved this. It was light-hearted, it was funny, and it was just a really enjoyable read. I really like Nell's character - she was interesting and relatable, and I LOVED Cricket. Everyone could learn something from her and her laid-back attitude. I really liked the way this ended - it was satisfying and tied everything up nicely, leaving Nell with a new outlook on life.

Highly recommend!
