The riotously funny new novel from Penny Smith. Miranda Blake is divorced. At 45, things are starting to head south.
She's toying with the idea of Botox. Toying with the idea of facial surgery. And toying with getting a job or possibly a toy boy.
The only block to all those things is her stiff, uppity daughter, 23-year-old Lucy. Pompous, is what Miranda calls her. (Sane, is how Lucy sees it.) Her friends are trying to set her up with a collection of bankers and company directors! Similar types to her ex-husband, Nigel (Nigel -- just saying his name makes her wince) and every new date ends in disaster.
Penny Smith has worked as a journalist and TV presenter. She has presented the GMTV News Hour since 1993, and has also worked for Sky News and Classic FM. She also has a regular newspaper column. She is the author of the bestselling novels ‘Coming Up Next’ and ‘After the Break’.
