From Amazon:
This uplifting, fast-paced story tackles the challenges of middle-age and will have you laughing, crying, and wondering how many Fs rule your life too.
Jaye never expected everything to fall apart when she turned fifty, but Fs are back in charge and ruining her life again.
Fitness… Her spare tyre’s self-inflating but she’s allergic to exercise, unless it’s wine bottle unscrewing where she’s fast becoming an Olympic athlete.
Frustration… Why has her soulmate of 30 years shacked-up with his young, blonde, skinny (except for his baby-bump) mistress?
Family… One child has flown, the other two are flapping their wings, and Jaye’s left hugging the half-empty biscuit tin and her precious stash of chocolate.
Friends… Bestie Didi is fun with a capital F, but she’s pushing Jaye into online dating, reinvention, and ridiculous risk taking.
As Jaye fights to hold everything together, she’s forced into deciding whether to return to her safe but imperfect life, or explore a new frightening (or is that exciting?) alternative.
This hilarious, sharply observed novel is perfect for fans of Jill Mansell, Fiona Gibson and Milly Johnson.
‘A laugh-out-loud comedy with a huge heart.’
Liz Treacher, best-selling author of The Wrong Envelope

Great read
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2026
This was a truly great read. Jaye is wonderful even though she is blind to a few things. The writing style is unique and the story flows. I cracked up laughing in many places and a ambivalent in others. Sometimes, life is better at age 50. Especially when you prioritize in a completely different fashion.
