ABOUT THIS BOOK When her 18-year-old twins leave for university, single mum Nadia’s life changes in ways she never expected: her Glasgow flat feels suddenly huge, laundry doesn’t take up half her week, and she no longer has to buy ‘the Big Milk’. After almost two decades of putting everyone else first, Nadia is finally taking care of herself. And with a budding romance with new boyfriend Jack, She’s never felt more alive. That is, until her son Alfie drops out of university, and Nadia finds her empty nest is empty no more. With a heartbroken teenager to contend with, Nadia has to ask herself: is it ever possible for a mother to get her own life back? And can Jack and Nadia’s relationship survive having a sulky teenager around? MY REVIEW Witty, entertaining, and thought-provoking, THE MUM WHO GOT HER LIFE BACK by Fiona Gibson is a fantastic story that kept my eyes glued to the page from start to finish. Nadia isn't sure what she is going to do with the extra free time she has now that her children have left for University, but she has work and her friends and that should be enough to fill the void. But Nadia didn't expect to meet a handsome and charismatic stranger in the Lush bath bomb department, and soon she finds herself in the throes of lust with a man that seems to be perfect for her in every way. Nadia realises that her life can still be passionate and it is ok for her to feel a little bit happy that her kids no longer need her like they used to. Until they do. Alfie, Nadia's son, has dropped out of Uni and has resumed his role as her baby boy and suddenly Nadia doesn't have the freedom that she once had and feels guilty for even thinking like that. Her new relationship begins to feel the pressure as Nadia and Jack begin to merge their families, and when a misunderstanding takes on a deeper meaning, could their new found love falter before it has really begun? With ex-partners, embarrassing first meetings, and miscommunication THE WOMAN WHO GOT HER LIFE BACK by Fiona Gibson made me laugh and made me think about how I would feel if I was in Nadia's position. I really enjoyed the characters but I have to say that while I didn't always agree with Nadia and her actions, I could always understand them. THE MUM WHO GOT HER LIFE BACK by Fiona Gibson is a wonderful story about discovering you are when the role that has been the most important part of your life has taken a bit of a back seat, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book!
