What to expect
At forty-nine, Millie's life is in freefall. Everyone around her seems to have it all figured out—meanwhile, she’s stuck in a job she hates and back living with her mum. Avoiding reality is practically a full-time job.
With the big 5-0 looming, Millie does what any floundering misfit would do: she panics. And tells a ridiculous lie.
But as her little white whopper snowballs into a full-blown situation, Millie’s forced to face some uncomfortable truths. If this isn’t a breakdown — could she finally be having a breakthrough?
Featuring a brilliantly chaotic heroine, sharp and snappy humour, and a big beating heart at its centre, Woman Behaving Badly is the perfect read for fans of Marian Keyes and Ruth Jones— a joyful, life-affirming reminder that it is never, ever too late to get your act together. Probably.

Synopsis
Millie is old enough to know better. Just don’t tell her that. At forty-nine, Millie's life is in freefall. Everyone around her seems to have it all figured out—meanwhile, she’s stuck in a job she hates and back living with her mum. Avoiding reality is practically a full-time job. With the big 5-0 looming, Millie does what any floundering misfit would do: she panics. And tells a ridiculous lie. But as her little white whopper snowballs into a full-blown situation, Millie’s forced to face some uncomfortable truths. If this isn’t a breakdown — could she finally be having a breakthrough? Featuring a brilliantly chaotic heroine, sharp and snappy humour, and a big beating heart at its centre, Woman Behaving Badly is the perfect read for fans of Marian Keyes and Ruth Jones— a joyful, life-affirming reminder that it is never, ever too late to get your act together.
