A beautifully written and enjoyable read.
Take it on holiday or anytime when you have a few hours to yourself.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

I love this series and the author, this one adds to the collection! Was lovely catching with all the characters:

Even better than the first book confessions of a forty something. And that is saying something because i really loved the first installment. Pick this amazing book up if you are looking for a story that you will become so lost in that you won't be able to put it down. Excellent I just hope there is a third book now.

I loved confessions of a forty something f*ck up so was really excited to read the follow up. I absolutely loved it! Catching up with Nell and cricket was like catching up with old friends. Their friendship as adorable. I would love to have my very own wise and fabulous cricket. The authors writing is witty and funny and the characters feel so real. I just love reading about older women and their trials and tribulations. This is a 5 star read and I would highly recommend it.

Life really isn't getting any less messy or chaotic for Nell Stevens. About the only thing that's not turned into an utter shambles in the podcast.

Friendships are being tested in the most trying circumstances, relationships are on and off quicker than a lighthouse...and moving is a real pain in the backside

The brilliant sequel doesn't disappoint

I picked this one up as I heard a lot of hype about it , and I can say I absolutely devoured it in one sitting , I really enjoyed it and also taken a lot of inspiration from this book , and this is hard to find as a lot of books don’t get it right, this one had me giggling, smiling, and sometimes teary . This is the first day I am going to look at my live as adventure and to think whatever I do I will get there in life, there is no correct way to do it .

I absolutely loved this book, her first Confessions of a Forty Something F*** Up ended up being one of my favourite books so I knew I had to read this one, and it was just as good. If you read anything this year make sure it's the first one and this one.

Thank you to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

Nell Stevens and her chaotic life are back!!

This was such a funny, yet touching read. This author always deals with real topics, and they are dealt with sensitively and in a way that breaks the taboo around subjects. Nell is a brilliant character, and is really relatable.
I also love Nell’s elderly friend, Cricket. She is so down to Earth and always reminds Nell of what and who is important in life. The writing is excellent, with humour in all the right places. I really hope this author writes more books with Nell. Highly recommended!!

Nell’s life seems to be going as planned for once, she survived the Covid lockdowns, she’s getting married, she’s still busy writing obituaries, her friends are ok and her frenemy Annabel isn’t giving her such a hard time lately… That is until everything seems to fall apart again. Her friend Holly gets diagnosed with cancer, she breaks up with Edward, Annabel is…. well just Annabel. At least Nell has her podcast and now she and Cricket will write a column in the paper too. Will there ever be a happy ending for Nell?

Can I just start with the fact that I love Cricket and need someone like her in my life? She is the most amazing human being for sure! Although creating your own coffin… maybe I’d pass on that 😂 This sequel to Confessions of a forty-something f**k up did not disappoint! I bought the first novel at the airport because the titel made me laugh, and when I saw @netgalley offered the arc for a review I didn’t hesitate for a minute. A lovely story which reminds you of what exactly is important in life and that we have to be grateful for the little things in life (see, a coffin would a big thing 😉)
Totally recommend!

Nell is back and is questioning her life choices. A book all about friendships and navigating life with humour. An enjoyable read. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me review this book.

Here’s the sequel to one of my favourite books of 2021 and well, I was not disappointed!

We revisited our favourite friendship duo Nell and Cricket, went in a trip to LA, saw a couple of weddings, babies and navigated ‘love in later life’.

This book was beautifully written, hilariously funny (I was literally snorting out loud at certain points) and I just adored catching up with Nell and Cricket.

Thank you Alexandra for another absolute gem of a book. Please, pretty please with sugar on the top, can we have a Confessions of a F##k up Book 3??

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this eARC of 'More Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up' by Alexandra Potter.

'More Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up' is the sequel to Alexandra Potter's first novel. I'll be honest, I never read the first novel. And I didn't expect it to be fictional! But it was lighthearted and fun, sometimes I'd catch myself chuckling at certain areas. It was quite a good read.

Nell is back!

First of all, thank you NetGalley, Pan Macmillan, and Alexandra Potter for allowing me access to this e-ARC!

More Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up is exactly everything I hoped it would be! There’s more Cricket, Edward and Arthur (🐶). There’s Nell’s step-family and her amazing friends (and Annabelle). The whole book took me on a rollercoaster of emotions- I even shed a tear during this book!

I loved the way Alexandra Potter incorporated the pandemic into the start of the novel. It was the perfect way to have Nell reevaluate herself after finding peace with her life in the first novel. It reminded me of how much our lives got completely tipped upside down thanks to COVID-19.

If you haven’t read Alexandra’s first Confessions- I highly recommend. These two books have quickly become favourites of mine, and I’m so excited to read anything and everything else that Alexandra writes!

More Confessions comes out August 17th!

I gave More Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up 5⭐️

Well what can I say another fantastic read, loved the story, loved revisiting the charecters took me a day and a half to read, a perfect summer beach read

Absolutely loved this book. Didn't think it could be as good as the first one but it is. So many things that happen to myself or friends are in the book.
Turn off your phone and dive into the pages. It proves we are all trying our best to muddle through and keep on going. No one is perfect and life definitely isn't.

Unfortunately I have had to put this as dnf pretty early on. The reason being the constant chatter about the pandemic. For me it's just too soon. I dont want to read about it when we're hardly out of it. Just my opinion.

It was with a sense of glee that I noted Alexandra Potter was releasing a follow up to her 2021 best-selling novel, "Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up". I read the first book out of curiosity due to the title - I was approaching the big 40 and discovering that apparently there are life-goals that we are supposed to achieve. I must have missed those particularly lessons at school. And so, refreshingly, has our heroine Nell.
Living in London, Nell is content with her life. She enjoys her job writing obituaries, has a strong circle of friends (including the ultimate frenemy). Yet people, especially her parents are worried that she hasn't married, had children, is not successful. Nell is apparently a "Forty-Something F**k Up".
Over the course of the novel, we met Nell navigating a post-lockdown world, dealing with her new stepfamily, and learning not to trust what you see on social media. Her story is in turn funny and poignant.
Unwittingly, Nell seems to stumble from one incident to another. Grounded in familiar everyday family and work situations, these situations remain plausible despite being a work of fiction. Nell is also utterly relatable as the continual survivor and you can't help but cheer her on.
For anyone who has read the first novel, I'm delighted to say that Cricket (an inspiring and funny, octogenarian) and Arthur (the dog) return. For newcomers, be prepared to love them both.
I think the words, "I'm a Nell", could become a positive, new catchphrase.

I’ve been a fan of Alexandra Potter’s for years now but have absolutely loved her last few novels, including the first Confessions book and One Good Thing. I was thrilled when I heard a second Confessions book was written and delighted to be approved by NetGalley to read and review!

Nell is back, with Cricket by her side as ever, but also now Edward. And her friends. And her stepsons. And her boss at the newspaper. So if her life is going well, why has Nell got more confessions? Even when life appears to be going well, there’s always things to be grateful for as well as those sent to try us.

I devoured this book, keen to catch up with Nell post-pandemic and to see what she is up to. I now need to go back and watch the TV version of book one!

Thank you Alexandra and NetGalley for another engrossing, funny, endearing read. Highly recommend to any other 40 something f*** ups out there!

A great addition to her last book, it was so lovely to catch up with our f**k up heroine. So many great life-truths, so relatable and thought provoking, it’s fiction however it does make you think about your own life and consequences of decisions you make along the way.

Thank you to Netgalley the author and publishers for an e-arc in exchange for an honest recipe

Enjoyable and made me laugh. I love Alexandra Potter's books, and can't wait for the next one.
