Publisher's Summary

More Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up: the laugh-out-loud sequel to the hilarious, WTF AM I DOING NOW?! runaway bestseller!

This audio edition is brilliantly and hilariously read by Sally Phillips, known for her performances in Bridget Jones's Diary and Smack the Pony.

There is no magical land you finally arrive at where everything is figured out, fixed and sorted. Life, like us, is a sum of moving parts, and if we’re lucky, we get to keep f**king up, figuring it out and laughing in the face of it all.

Nell’s back. Her life still isn’t going to plan. And she’s still asking the big questions and getting none of the answers. Like, for example:

1. Why is falling in love so easy, but staying in love so hard?

2. What do you do when your friendships are put to the ultimate test?

3. Can we ever really live in the moment and leave the past behind?

4. When everything goes tits up, do you fall apart or jump on a plane to LA with Cricket (an eighty-something widow and your BFF)?

5. And when all else fails, will celebrity-scented candles, smashed avocados and Instagram filters save us?*

In this hilarious, un-put-downable follow-up to the bestselling Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up, now the basis for the major TV series, Not Dead Yet, there are laugh-out-loud lessons to be learned, truths to be told, adventures to go on and joys to discover.

But first, Nell has some more confessions . . .

It was the Welsh accent, doctor.

I love Sally, always have, but the pressure placed upon her by the person who told her ‘We want you to use every accent known to man’ is giving me secondhand anxiety!

Just what I needed

Well written story that reminds us that the life we thought we’d have isn’t generally the life we end up with. I really enjoyed this follow up book and the narration is superb.

emotions plus!!

I loved every word of it, I cried, laughed way too much, reminisced over my own life, and smiled.... smiled so much. 10/10 does not do it justice. Highly recommend both Forty something books 📚 👌 👏 Alexander potter you are amazing 👏
