My Review
I knew from the tagline of "Can she say f*ck it, for just one day", that I had to read this book! We meet Clover Hendry who wakes up with a bad headache. After taking an out of date painkiller and receiving a bump on the head on the way to work, Clover decides that today is going to be a different kind of day!
This was a great book! Wouldn't we all love to have a day where we say "Sod it" to everything and do and say all the things we'd ever wanted to? Of course, a reaction to a strong painkiller and possible concussion probably helped Clover in some of the decisions she made that day! I loved following Clover throughout her day though, and I imagine so many could relate to her frazzled, tired, working mum lifestyle. The storyline intersperses with flashbacks from her life and it has had me laughing my way through her day! I particularly liked the swimming pool and Clover's new haircut, which I could just picture as I read!
This is definitely the book you need if life's getting on top of you - it will cheer you up no end! It's laugh out loud funny but still has lots of warm-hearted moments which will make you like Clover all the more! Would recommend!
