From the Back Cover
It wasn't meant to be like this. Being on television was meant to lead to a rich social life, book signings, opening supermarkets. But for Lizzie Partridge, 40-something, divorced and TV cook on Midlands This Morning, it meant dinners for one, coping with an air-head of a daughter and following middle-aged men into corner shops.

Her good friend Louie - if only he wasn't gay - thought he knew what the trouble was: Lizzie was always on the wrong side of the glass, looking in at other people's lives. Whatever the truth of that, things for Lizzie were going to get a lot worse before they got better.

Once again Laurie Graham, with her astonishing ear and eye for detail, has produced a tale that is not only funny enough to bring tears to the eyes but written with a truthfulness that makes most contemporary novels sound like fairy stories.

Reserved for the salcey forest live swap

Picked up through the live swap - I have no idea if this is my kind of book - I am sure I will find out. That is what I love about bookcrossing.

I didn;t love this book - it was just ok and a time filler. It was so short though I had to finish it! I don;t think I will search out other books by the same author - but it is nice to try something different for a change. Also as it was based in the Midlands there were a few familiar places mentioned.

I think I will offer this in a Bookswap so it continues to travel.

Thanks Weebly. This was passed to me today at the Wendover Woods meet.

I made a start on this but it just isn't my kind of book.
