About this listen
Forget about having it all. Sometimes you just want to leave it all behind.
Audrey is often seized by the urge to walk out of her house without looking back – but she can’t possibly do that.
She is a single parent. She is needed. She has a job, a home, responsibilities…and a slothful teenage son’s pants to pick up.
But no one likes being taken for granted – Audrey least of all – so the time has come for drastic action. And no one’s going to stand in her way…
A brilliantly funny and uplifting novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Mum Who’d Had Enough and When Life Gives You Lemons. Perfect for anyone who’s ever wanted to escape it all!

really funny and touching
This book made me laugh out loud several times. The bit about the BHS 3 part jewellery set was hilarious. Made me remember fondly difficult times with my own teenage son

Too predictable
I chose this book for my book club and am sadly disappointed ... Bit bland and predictable . Does do the title justice 😕

A nice enough story
I enjoyed the story well enough and narration (fan of Emma Gregory) but it was terribly predictable and a bit wet.

LOVED IT!
Absolutely hilarious, I laughed out loud and I could totally relate to the story.
It was so nice to listen to a light Chicklit book.
The story was great and I love Emma Gregory narrating. I finished the book within 24 hours as I couldn't wait to keep listening.I
If you want light hearted then listen to this book, I completely recommend it!

This book about Audrey , an ordinary hard working woman enchanted me . So wonderfully written and the narrator who I’ve listened to before was simply amazing. I laughed and cried at all Audreys antics. Please please read this book. I am so sad it’s finished . Loved it
