It's about Joanne King who is recently divorced at age 39. Jo, as she is otherwise known, is well aware that she needs to make some changes in her life. And to this end she realises that she must set herself some goals.
Three goals! Yes, three goals should be more than enough.
The first goal is to ensure the future safety of her home and her furniture. Training her dog should achieve this.
Try not to be horrid about her husband's new woman, Fran. Well, especially in front of the children she shares with George, her ex-husband. And she hopes this will be for the sake of George, too.
Thirdly? Yes, her third goal is to get herself a new life all of her very own! And if his plan might include a little bit of some romance to lighten things up for her, so much the better!
However... however... her plans have to be bombproofed against the vagaries of her teenaged children, her mother who is 83 and also the puppy dog that was such a nice and thoughtful departing gift from George. And the thing was that the puppy was supposedly a present to the kids and not o!
Amidst all this internal, family-related chaos she has encounters with artists, a police officer (but not in a bad way!) and Nick King, who is a physiotherapist.
Plus there's the added and dubious pleasure of hostilities between Jo and her and the new love of her ex-husband George's life, his new 'soulmate', Fran.
But something seems to indicate that Jo will come out on top, ahead of the field, with Millie the dog in tow!
This is a gloriously written and very amusing book. It's fiction, but it's very, very truthful indeed!
It's published by The Book Guild at £7.99 and copies will be available here https://goo.gl/wdCFDG.
