How Hard Can It Be
Allison Pearson
Kate
Redding is almost 50 and she hasn't quite come to terms with it yet.
Instead she is struggling with family, career and just about
everything life throws at her in the witty and laugh out loud story.
Her teenage daughter Emily is distraught over a social media faux pas
when this story opens. Kate isn't quite sure how to handle the
problem since her own social media experience is limited. Compounding
problems at home her husband has decided to retrain as a counselor,
meaning he will be without an income for the next two years. Having
purchased a fixer-upper which is turning into a money pit, Kate
decides its time to get back into the job market. After a seven-year
absence from the world of finance, this may not be as easy as it
seems. Kate will just have to do what it takes to find a job in the
city of London, even if that means lying about her age.
As if
that is not enough there is the onset of menopause to worry about,
aging parents that need to be looked after, by Kate of course and a
marital relationship that has seen better days. All of which will be
tested with the appearance of an old boyfriend and Kate's
determination to face life head-on. It was not hard to laugh out loud
and marvel at the observations made in this book.
Thanks
to St. Martin's Press for allowing me to read this book in exchange
for an honest review.
