Status Updates From Confessions of a Forty-Some...

This book is so dumb. How would you NOT know it's your friends voice of 15 years hosting a podcast you've been listening to?

I am loving this author’s sense of humour. I am constantly grinning and even occasionally laughing out loud. Earnest at times, and also irreverent. No wonder we get along!

bello.🥹

I wish she would stop using tribe. I’m trying to figure out what would be better for what she needs to say.

I’ve laughed along with Nell as she’s telling the story of her year. And then I found myself sobbing as things looked bleak for a while. This book might have been released a couple of years or so ago now, but I’m only just reading it and already it’s a definite contender for my favourite book of the year!

Listening to the audiobook and it's giving VERY much Bridget Jones' Diary vibes! The narrator is excellent! So far, I'm really liking it.

The narrator has a lovely British accent that I dig.

Fun audiobook while I clean

Already interested and want to read more!

Usually I don’t read this sort of genre but I am loving this so far!

Slowwww 🐌🐌

This book made me smirk when I saw it sitting on the half price table at the bookstore. My 40th is coming up quick, and I needed a paperback for the plane. Usually I roll my eyes at this kind of stuff, but as much as I ended up crying on my 30th, maybe I could infuse some humor into my 40th. 🤷‍♀️
Turns out, our heroine also was born in January, so in short, all the signs said GET THIS BOOK. 😜

I have been absolutely been loving Nel!

So funny. Love the TV show that was created from it

Next listen on Libby - I’ve lol’d quite a bit already.
This one is going to be good!!

Finished 4th January 2024 - but read during the summer of 2023

Will somebody please help me, I can’t put this down!!

Enjoying every second so far - Struggling to put it down!

Annoyingly good. I can’t stop reading it! Grrr

Hated it. Firstly, it drags so much. 548 pages of what? There is no plot. Also, the character is really annoying. She keeps complaining about her life whilst doing nothing to change it. lf you're so upset about your life do something about it rather than making snarky comments and sounding envious of your friends' relationships, houses, jobs and families. This book promotes victim mentality and is really annoying

Hated it. Firstly, it drags so much. 548 pages of what? There is no plot. Also, the character is really annoying. She keeps complaining about her life whilst doing nothing to change it. I get dark humour and self-deprecating "funny" comments but if you're so upset about your life do something about it rather than making snarky comments and sounding envious of your friends' relationships, houses, jobs and families.

I’m laughing out loud….. such a fun read!

Het is wel grappig. Maar de drang om door te lezen is er gewoonweg niet.

Still waiting for the plot. Quitting.

Not my typical read, but I have to say I am really enjoying it :)
