The voice of modern women is back! From the Sunday Times bestseller and author of Kindle sensation The Woman Who Ran Away from Everything comes a perfect page-turner for fans of Milly Johnson and Jill Mansell.

‘More than funny, it’s true!’ Elle

After sixteen years of marriage, Nate and Sinead Turner have a nice life. They like their jobs, they like their house and they love their son Flynn. Yes, it’s a very nice life.

Or, at least Nate thinks so. Until, one morning, he wakes to find Sinead gone and a note lying on the kitchen table listing all the things he does wrong or doesn’t do at all.

Nate needs to show Sinead he can be a better husband – fast. But as he works through Sinead’s list, his life changes in unexpected ways. And he starts to wonder whether he wants them to go back to normal after all. Could there be more to life than nice?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Perfect life? Not a bit! Fiona Gibson's much loved novels are about the messiness of everyday life, when you don't have it all sorted - even at 40, 50 and beyond. To make matters worse, wine makes you sweat like a horse now! Which seems deeply unfair. Marriage wobbles, maddening teenagers and second-chance love - they're all there in Fiona's hilariously relatable stories.

Her newest novel, The Full Nest, is out now. And you can pre-order The Woman Who Got Her Spark Back (out on June 7!).

Fiona started her writing life working on teen magazines Jackie and Just Seventeen. She went on to edit More! magazine, where she invented the infamous Position of the Fortnight. It remains her career highlight.

These days Fiona lives in Glasgow with her husband, where she writes her books full-time and tries to ignore the housework. Her three grown up children have all flown the nest.

    This is a funny book includes real-life problems of a middle-aged mom who is unfulfilled with her life. It tells quite a bit from the husband's point of view, which made me laugh. It's a good book club book b/c it addresses things most moms face and most married couples, but the mom actually gets fed up and tries a new life.

    I ended up enjoying this book, but I don’t consider it a funny book. I didn’t have any empathy for the apparent heroine. And yes, if you don’t take your child with you, you are leaving him too. What a selfish ninny she is! I much preferred the characters of Nate and Tanzie.

    I enjoyed this book for the most part. The wife seemed a little on the spoiled side, though. It just seemed like if things weren’t working out, leave.

    My first Fiona Gibson story was an extremely pleasing read, ticking all the boxes for this genre. A tale of reaching that certain age where people are accused of having a mid life crisis but it actually a step along the way that leads the characters on to pastures new. Will likely read more of her work.

    The book was ok. I read the kindle version, didn’t notice where I was in the book and was surprised when I came to the words The End. It ended so quickly. I wish the ending wasn’t so rushed.

    This book just flows on through the pages and it's an absolute joy to read. I think all of us Mums have had enough plenty of times throughout the years but we stay the course and live our lives and come out the other end. The Mum Who’d Had Enough is well worth a read.
