About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The funniest and most heart-warming romcom for 2025 from the much-loved TV presenter Alison Hammond, perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Ruth Jones.


Her worst nightmare might just be the making of her . . .

Family has always meant everything to Madison. Married to the nation’s heartthrob, TV handyman Rich, with two beautiful children, she’s always put their needs first. And she’s never regretted a second, even if her own career has taken a backseat.

Then, out of the blue, Rich drops a bombshell. He needs some space and he’s moving out.

Overwhelmed by this revelation, Madison turns to her tight-knit group of friends for help. But when their support isn’t enough, Madison resolves to find out what’s really going on. Even if it means turning detective on her own husband.

And with her own interior-design career about to take off (once her manager stops squashing her bold ideas for his terrible ones, and provided she doesn’t get distracted by the new guy in the office), Madison’s about to rediscover her own worth.

She’s a bombshell, after all…

Simple story

I loved this book from Alison. It was simple everyday story but brilliantly written to keep you listening. I could hear Alison’s voice in all chapters. Fabulous.
Well read on audible too.

A FESTIVE 3 STAR 🌟🌟🌟 LISTEN

Well done Lisa Bent and Alison Hammond for a fab festive Chicklit!
You both co-write well together.

I loved that it was set in the run-up to Christmas, it made it more special.

Madison is a strong woman that gets emotionally hurt badly in her marriage and that is difficult to come back from. Especially when it turns your whole family life upside down.

Dropping bombshells at anytime of year is difficult but when your husband drops one to you and your kids 3 weeks before Christmas then it is worse.

I did guess the twist early on.
This was easy to listen too and I wish it had lasted longer than it did.
Seroca Davis did her job as narrator very well.

I got this book in the sale and I recommend it 🌠

Very easy listen

I found this a bit boring and I hate to say this, but it didn’t feel very well written. I really like Alison and I love her autobiography, but this novel was a bit of a let down. It felt predictable and I wouldn’t recommend it. I titled this review ‘very easy listen’ because you can literally miss chunks (when I fell asleep with the timer on) and still keep up. I hope the next one is better as I really want her to be great!
