Summary
When her 22-year-marriage suddenly ended, 47-year-old mother of three Laura expected life as she knew it to be over. What she hadn’t expected:
- An incredible one-night stand
- A new-found sexual appetite
- Ten men in eight months
- That there is plenty of fun to be had after 40
From G-spots to bald spots, dirty talk to dating fiascos, Available is the unflinchingly honest, empowering and humorous true story of one woman’s love life after divorce.
Critic reviews
"This memoir is a real page-turner. What happens when you start dating after 22 years of marriage? Unexpected, original, funny and sometimes deeply infuriating, Laura Friedman Williams has so much to say about what we expect of women’s sexuality. Confronting without being sleazy and intelligent without being preachy. I loved it." (Viv Groskop, author of How to Own the Room)
"Available offers far more than just a wild romp through the Wild West of the post-marital dating world - though a wild romp it certainly is. Curling up with this memoir is like settling in for a night with a hilarious girlfriend, listening to her best sexual anecdotes. Available is also a serious exploration of womanhood. Laura reminds us of the importance of regaining all the parts of who we are as women, despite how easy it is to become consumed by the mammoth roles of Mother and Wife. We aren't here solely to serve our families as domestic martyrs. We deserve to reawaken the parts of ourselves that often become dormant once we enter maternal roles. We deserve to live life to the fullest, embracing each facet of our identities, even (especially!) the parts society teaches us to shove aside when we become mothers." (Caroline Mackenzie, author of One Year of Ugly)
"Eye-popping." (Daily Mail)

Holiday read
I would on,y recommend this book if you had nothing better to read it’s very far fetched easy read but myself I think it makes Laura look very needed and very easy to give her body to total strangers

Validating, Comforting, Inspiring
I’m going through a divorce that I never saw coming. Available has given me more hope that I’d ever been able to find for myself that I’m strong enough to get through this, and that there are happier times ahead ⛅️ highly recommend. Laura’s storytelling is relatable, engaging and at times hilarious!

Bare honesty
I enjoyed Laura’s refreshing honesty. It was enjoyable listening to her narrate and tell her story. While I enjoyed the dating and sex stories and they often made me laugh out loud while out on walks - my favourite part of this book is her fresh take on relationships and what makes them work (and fall apart), how to be true to ourselves and how life always goes on.
