Fans of Marian Keyes, Elizabeth Gilbert and Helen Fielding will find themselves nodding along to this portrait of a middle-aged woman emerging from the ruins of one life, and starting over again. After twenty-five years my marriage just blew up in my face. On a good day, I take a sledgehammer to my house between swigs of white wine. I’m a total mess. Diane’s humiliation comes thick and fast. For starters, her husband is having an affair with a younger woman. Of course he is. But what’s worse is that he’s blaming her. You’ve become boring , he says. And that’s that. Or is it? With the help of her best friend, Claudine, Diane embarks on a journey to discover a new life. Witty, sharp and emotionally rich, this is a story about freedom and identity and how it’s never too late to put yourself first. Writing that makes us fall in love from the very first page. – Huffington Post Quebec Fresh, funny, and a lot of fun to read. – Consumed by Ink Wacky, scathing humour, good dialogue and assuredly lively. – Le Devoir With great humour and tenderness, Marie Lavoie recounts Diane’s journey to regain trust in both herself and the people around her . . . A piercing commentary on gender, marriage, and the nuances of self-love. – Toronto Life Funny and absurd, but underlined with a tenderness and poignancy that will have you rooting for happily ever after after that. – Pickle Me This A great read. Relatable and a page turner, I’d recommend this book. – Reader review
