My review:????
Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up by Alexandra Potter is about Nell Stevens, who is feeling like she has failed. She’s left her fiancé in America and moved back to the UK, and is renting a room in someone else’s house. She’s looking around at her friends who are married with children, and feels alienated from them.
She gets offered a job to write obituaries, and jumps at it. She meets Cricket, an 80 something year old widow, on her first interview, and they become unlikely friends.
This is a lovely story of finding yourself, changing your life and friendship. I really enjoyed it, and loved Cricket!
