A humourous yet true to life look at starting over after the break down of a relationship, from finding somewhere new to live and to learning to love again. 
Hanna has just broken up with her boyfriend, and that means having to move out of the place that they share in London and move into her dad’s flat while she gets back on her feet. She runs into an old school friend and agrees to go for a drink with him and also starts a new job the same week, so things are looking up for her. Or are they? 
This book was such a hunourous look at what it’s like to start over and what it’s like to attempt to be an adult in this day and age, from the challenges of starting new jobs (and being left to get on with it on your first day) to not being able to get on the property ladder (or even be able to rent somewhere where you can wash your dishes whilst having a shower without it costing over £1000 a month) it is a realistic look at what people of my age are going through. 
I snorted with laughter quite a few times through this book and really enjoyed how easy it was to get into.
