A story of second chances that's impossible to stop listening to.
Jo's world is about to change forever, and it’s about time. Her marriage is on auto-pilot, her daughter hates her, her job sucks, and it’s not even Tuesday.
As Jo's life implodes, a freak event hurls her back to ‘90s Los Angeles where, in a parallel universe, she’s about to hit big time as a rock star.
Jo has to choose between her dreams and her family in an adventure that propels her from London to Hollywood and then to Glastonbury, the world’s greatest music festival.
In her desperate quest, Jo encounters a disgraced guru, a movie star with a fetish for double-decker buses, and the biggest pop star in the world...who just happens to want to kill her.
Back to Reality is a funny, heartwarming story about last chances, perfect for fans of Rowan Coleman and Helen Fielding.

What constantly brought me down and made me switch off for hours was our heroine Jo.
Jo was:
cowardly
a whiner
an hysteric
a let-down to the people she needed and needed her
slow on the uptake
Incompetent
Unempathetic and selfish
a tin-plated loser.
Each new episode gave her a chance to disappoint herself and others, zone out, flake off, have a fit, make a bed decision. She hardly seemed like a grown woman, even in her older “adult” version.
If that does not bug you, I recommend the story, because everything else is great. It is a jet fighter piloted by Mr. MacGoo.
Fun Story- Loser Protagonist
