About this ebook

'Relatable, lovable, and very very funny’ Graham Norton

–

Millie is old enough to know better. Just don’t tell her that.

At forty-nine, Millie's life is in freefall. Everyone around her seems to have it all figured out—meanwhile, she’s stuck in a job she hates and back living with her mum. Avoiding reality is practically a full-time job.

With the big 5-0 looming, Millie does what any floundering misfit would do: she panics. And tells a ridiculous lie.

But as her little white whopper snowballs into a full-blown situation, Millie’s forced to face some uncomfortable truths. If this isn’t a breakdown — could she finally be having a breakthrough?

Featuring a brilliantly chaotic heroine, sharp and snappy humour, and a big beating heart at its centre, Woman Behaving Badly is the perfect read for fans of Marian Keyes and Ruth Jones— a joyful, life-affirming reminder that it is never, ever too late to get your act together. Probably.
