Product Information

Pokiaľ ide o peniaze, stačí plánovať šesť mesiacov dopredu - o mesiac dlhšie a budeš v panike, o mesiac kratšie a kúpiš si tie nemožné šaty, ktoré si nikdy neoblečieš. PDF / EPUB File Name: Confessions_of_a_Forty-Something_Fk_Up__-_Alexandra_Potter.pdf, Confessions_of_a_Forty-Something_Fk_Up__-_Alexandra_Potter.epub This book is in my top five books that I have read this year. It has everything, love, loss, friendship and enemies. You can’t help but love Nell and want her to have her happy ever after.

It’s rare for any book to actually make me laugh out loud like this one did (more than once) and for a book to resonate on so many levels with me. First, though, she has a confession . . .But will she be happy and live Happily ever after!!!!! Yeah Right!!!!! Nell is a forty-something peri-menopausal Bridget Jones type character who is enjoying her own space in her first home and has an good job. Că fericirea nu e ceva ce îți dau alții, că îți poți îndeplini obiectivele din tinerețe (soț, casă ca în reviste și copii la școli private) și tot sa nu fii fericită. Că societatea îți impune un anume model chiar dacă nu ți se potrivește și, de-a lungul timpului, te face să te îndoiești de tot ce crezi tu că ai realizat. Că trăim într-o cultură în care a fi ocupat e un modus vivendi, suntem mereu așa de ocupați ca nu mai avem timp de prieteni, de întâlniri, de comunicat real cu oamenii, comunicare înlocuită cu mesajele pe whatsapp (la un moment dat Nell își sună o prietenă sa refuze o invitație pentru că i s-a părut aiurea sa refuze prin mesaj și prietena o întreabă dacă a sunat din greșeală).This book is just as funny and heartfelt from start to finish and for any woman or man who wonders how the hell she got here and why life isn't quite how she imagined it was going to be...

First of all, to be fair to the author, she doesn’t go down the whole probably won’t have children, but might just save it at the last minute (!) and pop one out route. And you have to respect that. Na starobe je smutné len to, že strácate priateľov a ľudí ktorých máte rada," pokračovala. Všetci naokolo vás umierajú, jeden po druhom. Prísť o Montyho nie je ľahké, ale veľkú časť života som prežila prv, ako sme sa s nim sme sa spoznali, bol workoholik a často pracovne preč. Som zvyknutá na jeho neprítomnosť... No prísť o kamarátky bolo v mnohých ohľadoch oveľa ťažšie, ako prísť oňho..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 called Not Dead Yet, there are laugh-out-loud lessons to be learned, truths to be told, adventures to go on and joys to discover.

I won’t lie; there were moments I thought, ‘Is this story ever going to end?’ But those short, snappy chapters? They were like little pit stops in a marathon, ensuring I was well-fed with light humor and hope as I journeyed through. Undoubtedly there is part of the story that feel somewhat cliché, this being women’s fiction and all, but there is a good dose of reality bound up in the creation of a cliché which is the precise reason that they are as such. Of course, there is a happily ever after ending of sorts, but it is not the typical rom-com ending where the girl ends up with the three-carat diamond on her finger and life being perfect. Rather it is seeing that we all have ideas and expectations of what life should look like, and how we are not measuring up, but a reminder that every person feels the same way. The old saying that you don’t have to worry about what anyone else thinks of you because they are so worried about themselves to notice you are the real moral of this story. That and the power of honesty and friendship. In the hilarious and heartfelt follow-up to Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up Nell discovers that there's no such thing as having it all figured out.Sally Philipps narration was absolutely perfect! Her voice was so easy to listen to and she made me laugh so much especially when Nell was being snarky or sarcastic. She made the book a real joy to listen to and she has definitely been added to on my favorite narrators list! The women whom I love and admire for their strength and grace did not get that way because shit worked out. They got that way because shit went wrong and they handled it. They handled it in a thousand different ways on a thousand different days, but they handled it. Those women are my superheroes.
