Here's what readers have to say about this book....
I truly enjoyed this book from the offset. Lizzie is a lady in her 50's. As she nears her retirement age, her husband of 35 years drops a bombshell that really knocks her, and when Lizzie thinks life can't possibly get any worse, she has even more thrown in her path. I really did connect with Lizzie in this story. I found her character to be endearing, likeable and truly unique. The authors writing style is fabulous and really captivates you from the start. I found myself well and truly invested in Lizzie and how her story would end. An enjoyable, heart warming read.
WOW! This book was hilarious with a touch of sadness. I loved Lizzie, wanted to do physical harm to her worthless husband and seems like he did her a favor by leaving. I really enjoyed this book and have given the title to family and friends so they will buy and read it. Thank you for the chance to read this title
Lizzie is in her 50's. The years where she should be leading towards retirement with her husband of 35 years until he hits her with very unexpected news. It's one blow after another & when she thinks it couldn't get worse, it does. I loved Lizzie. So much goes on when you are in your 50's, husbands, children, parents & job all want your attention & juggling becomes a new skill. I'm there at the moment with the added grandchildren! I enjoyed the writing & it kept me gripped & I read it in two sittings. My only complaint was, it finished too soon. I want more of Lizzie.
Lizzie is the main character and my goodness her world collapses when her husband leaves her for a polish masseuse. Lizzie living in a room in her grown up daughters flat. The kids take on bits of responsibility for her and ensure that her life continues. This book is such a joy and very much of our time. Lizzie and her sister watch over their aged parents too. Without going into detail, the story is brilliant, it made me laugh out loud and brought a year to my eyes. A great read thoroughly recommended. 9.5/10
