Publisher's Summary

An achingly funny story about how to be your own hero when life pulls the rug out from under your feet. From the author of the bestselling You had me at Hello.

Delia Moss isn't quite sure where she went wrong.When she proposed and discovered her boyfriend was sleeping with someone else - she thought it was her fault. When she realised life would never be the same again - she thought it was her fault. And when he wanted her back like nothing had changed - Delia started to wonder if perhaps she was not to blame…

From Newcastle to London and back again, with dodgy jobs, eccentric bosses and annoyingly handsome journalists thrown in, Delia must find out where her old self went - and if she can ever get her back.

Mhairi McFarlane never disappoints

It's the never-similar insults that are 2 parts crude and 1 part creative that get me every time.
And Julie Barrie does the best Sarah Milligan impression - it's a delight to listen to.

Very witty

First off this book has so many hilariously creative similes that I felt fairly dumb in the face of the authors witt. I loved the narrator and all the accents she nailed. I also liked how this wasn't a clear cut story line because life for real isn't clear cut and tidy. I had a lot of laugh out loud moments and overall really enjoyed it. My 18 yr old sister listened to it and hated it, so this might be something age appropriate (I'm 28).Hope this helps anyone interested in a funny, mostly light hearted read.

LOVED IT!

Loved this so much. Pretty sure I'm falling in love with Mhairi McFarlane book by book.
I definitely recommend you read this, especially if you love a laugh-out-loud, move you to tears, real-character, slow-burn story.
Brilliant.

It's not me it's you

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes and I have. This was a great story and my friends loved the sound of the characters

What about Julia Barrie’s performance did you like?

She is lovely to listen to and does great accents.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes it did but it was too long for that. I struggled to stop listening though

Any additional comments?

This is a great book and has lots to keep you interested! I have listened to Julia Barrie a few times and her narration really makes this book a pleasure.

One of Mhari's best

I've read all of Mhari's books and this is one of my favourites. I didn't mind the narrator- apart from the appalling Australian accent. It wasn't even close and ruined all the scenes with Kurt.
