About this ebook
A hilarious and empowering perimenopausal Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, about Clover Hendry, 46, and the day she decides to stop keeping the plates spinning, say F@#! it all, and finally get hers.
Today is not the day to mess with Clover Hendry.
Clover hasn’t said “No” a day in her life. Until today. Normally a woman who tips her hairdresser even when the cut is hideous, is endlessly patient with her horrendous mother, and says yes every time her boss asks her to work late—today, things are going to be very different. Because Clover is taking the day off. Today, she’s going to do and say whatever she likes, even if it means her whole life unravels.
What made Clover change her ways? Why doesn’t she care anymore? There’s more to this day than meets the eye.
Clover Hendry's Day Off is a joyful, raging, galvanizing story about putting life on pause, pleasing yourself, and getting your own back. Whatever it takes. Because when Clover stops caring, she can start living.

A very captivating book blending the story of a crazy and liberating day for Clover with sections relating Clover’s growing up with an exacting mother and her meeting and relationship with her husband. There are many funny and delightful passages of Clover’s thoughts on what she is doing. It is a day for Clover to release herself from being a people pleaser and to grow into a strong version of herself. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
