About this listen

This audio edition is brilliantly and hilariously read by Sally Phillips, known for her performances in Bridget Jones's Diary and Smack the Pony.

More Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up: the laugh-out-loud sequel to the hilarious, WTF AM I DOING NOW?! runaway bestseller!

'The new Bridget Jones for our times' – Celia Walden,
Telegraph

There is no magical land you finally arrive at where everything is figured out, fixed and sorted. Life, like us, is a sum of moving parts, and if we’re lucky, we get to keep f**king up, figuring it out and laughing in the face of it all.

Nell’s back. Her life still isn’t going to plan. And she’s still asking the big questions and getting none of the answers. Like, for example:

1. Why is falling in love so easy, but staying in love so hard?

2. What do you do when your friendships are put to the ultimate test?

3. Can we ever really live in the moment and leave the past behind?

4. When everything goes tits up, do you fall apart or jump on a plane to LA with Cricket (an eighty-something widow and your BFF)?

5. And when all else fails, will celebrity-scented candles, smashed avocados and Instagram filters save us?*

In this hilarious, un-put-downable follow-up to the bestselling Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up, now the basis for the major TV series, Not Dead Yet, there are laugh-out-loud lessons to be learned, truths to be told, adventures to go on and joys to discover.
But first, Nell has some more confessions . . .

Critic reviews

The story of Nell Stevens’ struggle through her imperfect, messy life doesn’t just make brilliant fiction, it’s turning into a cultural revolution! (Matt Cain)
Filled with wit, wisdom and hilarity, the further adventures of Nell and Cricket are sheer summer-reading joy (Kate Eberlen)

it's a good continuation of the first volume, pretty sure there won't be a third even though Nell still has a few more years to be a 40 something F*up. may be more for me (a 40+ ptofessional with impostors syndrome)... but, though it's fiction, it's nice to know there are enough off us to make it worth writing.

fun like the first

Too funny and Sooo real

Not many authors I’ve run across cover what it’s like tone in this age group with these concerns and hopes and disappointments. Everyone covers your 30s and the struggles but it’s so nice to know that even after your 30s your dreams and life ups and downs matter still so thank you

Relatable and Necessary

I really liked the last book, Confessions of a Forty-something F##k Up, so I thought this would be a great choice. It is not. I can’t even get through the first couple chapters! I understand she needs to do some recap but it just seemed so tedious. I don’t often abandon books but this one I am. I just can’t with this book. Ugh.

I cannot
