Tracy Bloom Reads From The Wife Who Got A Life 


Here comes the hilarious, uplifting new novel from the No.1 best-selling author of No One Ever Has Sex On A Tuesday… 

The Wife Who Got A Life perfectly captures the joyous chaos of family life. It’s the story of Cathy Collins, who’s come up with a list to help her nail the business of getting older. And we have 5 copies to give away!

After initially feeling annoyed by her sister’s gift of a Motivational Journal, she develops a list of monthly goals she believes will set her up for tackling the coming of middle age. 

JANUARY – Write the list! 

FEBRUARY – Ditch Periods 

MARCH – Ditch Cooking 

APRIL– Get a Life Outside the Family, preferably with ‘Young’ People 

MAY – Secure My Son’s Future – i.e. Put a Rocket Up His A*** 

JUNE – Teach My Daughter How to Not Get Screwed Over by Relationships 

JULY – Reduce My Carbohydrate Footprint 

AUGUST – Agree Who Will Clean Mum and Dad’s Toilet 

SEPTEMBER – Make the Necessary Announcements about the Menopause 

OCTOBER – Have the Really, Really Important Chat with My Husband 

NOVEMBER – Fall in Love Again 

DECEMBER – Dance with Hugh Jackman 

But Cathy isn’t the only one in her family with a midlife bombshell to drop.

When her husband throws his grenade into the mix, bossing the list doesn’t look quite so easy. And as everyone knows, a year can seem like a VERY long time… 

Now enjoy a sneak peek with Tracy…
