When Life Gives You Lemons

De: Fiona Gibson

Narrado por: Cathleen McCarron

Curl up with this hilarious, heartwarming read from the Top 5 best-selling author of The Mum Who Got Her Life Back.

Sometimes life can be bittersweet....

Between tending to the whims of her seven-year-old and the demands of her boss, Viv barely gets a moment to herself. It’s not quite the life she wanted, but she hasn’t run screaming for the hills yet. But then Viv’s husband Andy makes his mid-life crisis her problem. He’s having an affair with his (infuriatingly age-appropriate) colleague, a woman who – unlike Viv – doesn’t put on weight when she so much as glances at a cream cake. Viv suddenly finds herself single, with zero desire to mingle. Should she be mourning the end of life as she knows it, or could this be the perfect chance to put herself first?

When life gives you lemons, lemonade just won’t cut it. Bring on the gin!

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A sharp, witty tale." (Northern Echo)

"A real 'smiler' of a book.... You’ll be cheering her on as she explores new endeavours, including an unexpected love interest." (Woman & Home)

Sweet story

The is a story of a woman who finds her strength and independence after her husband decides to leave her. It’s also a story about the importance of friendship and community. The narrator does a good job with the main character of the story, yet not the other characters. At the beginning of the story, I had a difficult time listening to the narrator with other characters but I kept focused on the story. I’m glad a did stick with it because this is a sweet story of perseverance and a happy ending.

Incredibly enjoyable

I really liked the characters and their development. Characters were fully enjoyable as well as relatable.

Is that it? Yup.

About Chapter 16, I realize that I’m still waiting for the author to finish laying the foundation of the plot and get the thing off the ground. Or is this the plot? The day-to-day meanderings of a wronged woman? Is that it?

It is. That’s the whole of it. A dated diary of the events in a scorned woman’s year after being scorned. It’s the story of a normal life, and if that floats your boat, then you’ll enjoy this. If you need more excitement, then you might keep looking.

great book

I loved listening to this book. I wish there was a second part. it's so entertaining and I loved all the characters. I kinda feel bad for Andy at the end but I mean he did mess up so I guess that's his fault.

Women over 40 are still women. Can I get an amen?

I love this author. Fantastic stories about caring, creative, middle-aged women taking opportunities to grow and discover new loves. Great narration, too.
