About this listen

Trust me, there is life and love (and plenty of laughter) after divorce, even when your ex is one of Australia’s highest profile sport stars.

Actually, I Don’t Like Cricket Or Blow Jobs! (And to be honest, I suck at both.) Yes, that was what I originally wanted to call this book. But then I realised that some women like cricket. Also, reading this in front of your inquisitive seven-year-old could lead to some awkward conversations. So, in stepped Currently Between Husbands to save the day and any blushes.

Having a relationship in the spotlight is hard enough, but in Currently Between Husbands, Cathrine Mahoney details the unique experience of breaking up with one of Australia's highest profile sport stars. Even for a self-confessed over-sharer, the breakdown of her marriage to rugby league player Andrew Johns was more public than she was used to. In her first book, the writer, podcaster and publicist provides a self-deprecating and hilarious look at her life – from fashion mistakes and early crushes as a kid growing up in Wales, to her years working with some of the world's biggest stars at Sony Music, to navigating life and love as a ‘solo’ mum, and coming to terms with hitting the big 4-0. Currently Between Husbands is the equivalent of having a chat with your bestie over a drink or two, with all the inappropriate confessions, front bottom revelations and teary moments that entails.

‘Desperately funny, fearless and full of heart.’ Meg Mason, author of Sorrow and Bliss

‘Strap in. You’re in for a fabulous ride. And you’ll be wishing (like I was before I knew her) that she was your friend. It’s a bloody good book, and I didn’t want it to end.’ Amanda Keller OAM, radio and TV host

‘My all-time favourite movie is Bridget Jones’ Diary – to anoint a real-life version is a big deal – but Cathrine Mahoney is it Bridget to a tee. I’d pay to read a post it note she wrote, let alone a book. Cathrine’s ability to be funny, clever, relatable, self-deprecating and just so loveable is unlike anyone I’ve ever met.’ Erin Molan, TV presenter, radio host and writer

Critic Reviews

'[O]utrageously funny and, at times, deeply honest.' (Tim 'Rosso' Ross, comedian and radio host)

'Cathrine has such a unique voice, with self-deprecating humour that has made me laugh from the day I met her 20 years ago. It’s time the rest of the world got to laugh along and her stories.' (Samantha X, author of Hooked: Secrets of a High Class Escort)

'I adore Cath, to blazon her self-deprecation in such an endearing way encapsulates the courageous and hilarious woman she is.' (Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald, comedian and radio host)

'Currently Between Husbands is like watching Robbie William’s pash a fan on stage at his concert. Sometimes awkward, kinda hot, very funny but mainly you spend the whole time wishing it was you. Even in her darkest moments, Cathrine lives a life fuller than the rest of us put together. Smart, beautiful and wise. Consider my pelvic floor muscles tested. She’s the best friend you’ll want for life, but you’ll have to fight me for her.' (Sarah McGilvray, host of Not Another Parenting Podcast)

'Desperately funny, fearless and full of heart.' (Meg Mason, author of Sorrow and Bliss)

'Cathrine has this uncanny ability to write in a way that makes you feel like you are sitting down with your best friend having a cup of tea. I laughed, cried and had so much fun reading every word. This book is more than a memoir, it is the companion every woman needs beside her as she navigates life, love and everything in between.' (Carlii Lyon, entrepreneur and author of The Ultimate Personal Branding Playbook)

'There is one question I have asked Cath 100 times over, “Did that really happen?” Cath’s stories are like a Viennetta ice cream with the three layers being, disbelief, blunt honesty and brilliant storytelling. To add to that, it’s bloody funny and you’re left wanting more. No one else I know can share a story like Cath. I’m looking forward to the TV show.' (Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli, comedian and radio host)

'It is a page-turning wild, spiritual, ridiculously funny, candid, generous, raw and crystal-fuelled adventure.' (Jess Halloran, Walkley award-winning sports journalist)

'You don't have to be divorced to love this book – it's simply a story about love and life. We all need a Cath in our girl tribe, she is unfiltered, gets what it's like to try and find "the one," and will make you do that snort-laugh thing that you can only do around your girlfriends.' (Jules Robinson)

'Cathrine Mahoney is the girlfriend we all need. Pour yourself a vodka (that's enough soda, thanks!) and get ready for a hilarious and honest take on life, love and starting over.' (Kerrie Elstub, Editorial Director of Nine Digital)

Well I couldn't stop listening and it was finished in one night... I finally went to sleep at 6am!

Could not wait to hear the next bit, some of it curiosity of what it might be like to have a famous partner but mostly cause it was just bloody funny!

I was a bit hesitant about "self narration" but it was great better than some of the pros.
