Don’t miss the next coming-of-middle-age story from Harper Ford, publishing 2024!

Hot Not Bothered is the new hilarious, no-holds-barred and heartfelt novel about menopause, second (or third) chance love and the unexpected ways in which we can find our tribe at any age.

It’s a bloody mess but she ain’t stressed…

Heidi is tired. Tired, grumpy and hot as hell.

Juggling the demands of her stressful job whilst parenting two children with a significant age gap is proving chaotic, and Heidi has well and truly run out of f**ks to give.

When her menopause symptoms skyrocket, Heidi dives headfirst into a sea of comically contradictory advice, absurd doctors' appointments, and the wild world of online support forums that range from cult-like to totally bloody batshit.

The last straw comes when Heidi receives a patronising company-wide email from HR supporting ‘women of a certain age’. Heidi accidentally hits ‘reply all’ when calling out the bullshit and suddenly finds herself the inadvertent face of the menopause in her office…

Hot (Not Bothered) is the new hilarious novel about the menopause, second (or third) chance love – and the unexpected ways in which we can find our tribe at any age.
