About the Book:
Coco Pinchard was never a single thirty-something. She married young, had a son, and put her dream to be a writer on hold.
Now her first novel is published. Husband Daniel has greyed nicely into a silver fox, and son Rosencrantz is grown up. It should be time to enjoy life.
That is, until the annual family Christmas when her hideous mother-in-law Ethel comes to stay, and Coco opens her gift from Daniel. It’s not the jewellery she chose, but an iPhone. This marks the start of Daniel’s mid-life crisis and she catches him in bed with a younger woman.
The iPhone becomes a confessional of sorts, through emails to her friends Chris, an ageing trustafarian and Marika a slightly alcoholic schoolteacher. Coco documents her seemingly endless (and often entertaining!) run of bad luck.
Then she meets the hunky Adam and she’s back in the world of dating as a single forty-something...
Read the emails that tell the hilarious tale of Coco picking up the pieces, in this fun, feel good Romantic Comedy.
My Thoughts:
I bought this for my Kindle for 99 cents, so it's a major bargain. I wasn't expecting a lot with the 99 cent price tag, but it was hilarious! Many comparisons have been made to Bridget Jones, and I think that is very fair. It's very British and very funny. The entire book is Coco's emails to her friends and family. It's an easy and quick read, and again, it is hilarious funny. Multiple times, I found myself laughing loudly, even snorting a few times from laughing so hard. Coco is a hoot, but maybe even funnier is her mother-in-law Ethel. I highly recommend this one! There are follow-up books as well, and I can't wait to read them too.
