'Say hello to a book that will have you laughing with every page, whether you're 20, 40 or 80' - Heat
A novel for any woman who wonders how the hell she got here, and why life isn't quite how she imagined it was going to be. And who is desperately trying to figure it all out when everyone around them is making gluten-free brownies.
Meet Nell. Her life is a mess.
In a world of perfect Instagram lives, she feels like a f**k up. But when she starts a secret podcast and forms an unlikely friendship with Cricket, an eighty-something widow, things begin to change. Because Nell is determined. This time next year things will be very different. But first, she has a confession . . .
Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up by Alexandra Potter will make you laugh, and it might even make you cry. Above all, it will remind you that you're not on your own – we're all in this together.
'Brilliant! Laughing out loud' - Emma Gannon
'Funny but layered, light-hearted but surprisingly deep, this is a perfect and inspiring new year read' - Red

It seems that at this age, lots of things ‘are going’. If it’s not eyes, it’s upper arms...or knees...or necks...It’s like being in an auction, only the lots aren’t a nice mahogany dresser or a pair of silver candlesticks; they’re parts of my body. Soon everything will be going, going, GONE!

‘When I was a child I thought my parents knew all the answers; in my twenties I was adamant I knew all the answers; now the older I get, I realize no one knows the answers. Everyone’s just faking it! No one seems to have a clue what they’re doing. Just look at the politicians—’ ‘We’re gliding along on the surface, but underneath our legs are paddling furiously, trying to keep afloat.’

Maybe this is what happens when you get to this middle stage of life. You don’t just have one job any more; you have lots of different things. Some make money, some don’t, but all together they make up a life fulfilled.

if there’s one gift you can give yourself in life, it’s the freedom and courage to say “I don’t know”. Life is full of choices and decisions, and there is so much pressure on us to make all the right ones. But what if we don’t? What if we have doubts and misgivings? What if we make mistakes and contradict ourselves?’

同时在读82年生的金智英和这本40+loser日记,前者笔触克制但在绝望呐喊,后者大呼小叫但你知道she is all fine. 如预料之中,30+亚女也可以和40+白女狠狠共情,但更是生而为人的共情。这本书没什么深重的女性主义包袱,却也塑造了多光谱的女性群像。 两个着墨很好的点:感觉是个loser并不说明你是个loser,只是社会规训下让你自封上loser的标签;走在路上羡慕万家灯火,但别忘了... 同时在读82年生的金智英和这本40+loser日记,前者笔触克制但在绝望呐喊,后者大呼小叫但你知道she is all fine. 如预料之中,30+亚女也可以和40+白女狠狠共情,但更是生而为人的共情。这本书没什么深重的女性主义包袱,却也塑造了多光谱的女性群像。 两个着墨很好的点:感觉是个loser并不说明你是个loser,只是社会规训下让你自封上loser的标签;走在路上羡慕万家灯火,但别忘了outsider才有绝佳视野。五星表扬narrator, 把privileged有点mean没什么坏心眼的搞笑女腔调拿捏得太好了。 (展开)

This is unexpectedly my favorite novel in, like, ages? Five shining stars despite the corny HE! To have an "eighty-something fuckup" friend like Cricket is so fucking priceless! #lifegoal
