When Life Gives You Lemons by Fiona Gibson
4.0
From the very first chapter of When Life Gives You Lemons, I was hooked.
From main character Viv's one-liners on friends and life that had me cackling to observations on her own husband that already made me want to yell at him, this story felt so raw and real, and somewhat relatable, I could have mistaken it for non-fiction.
And, despite the age difference between myself and Viv (she's going through menopause and I'm barely out of my twenties), I had no difficulty connecting to her ways of thinking or the reactions that'd come out of her mind or mouth,.
Add in the comic relief of the best friend, the innocence and optimism of 7-year-old daughter Izzy and the mental ups and downs we've all been through before, during and after a breakup and this book is truly wonderful, delicious lemonade
