The Woman Who Upped and Left

‘I absolutely adored every page… Hilarious! There were moments that made me laugh out loud, they were just so funny!… Wonderful… Smiles and laughs are guaranteed… Trust me, it's a wonderful story!’ Goodreads review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!
