About This Book
Don't miss the next coming-of-middle-age story from Harper Ford, perfect for fans of Alexandra Potter and Ruth Jones!
Hot Not Bothered is the new hilarious, no-holds-barred and heartfelt novel about the rollercoaster of menopause, from hot flushes to HRT and everything in-between.
It's a bloody mess but she ain't stressed…
Heidi is tired. Tired, grumpy and hot as hell.
Juggling the demands of her stressful job whilst parenting two children with a significant age gap is proving chaotic, and Heidi has well and truly run out of f**ks to give.
When her menopause symptoms skyrocket, Heidi dives headfirst into a sea of comically contradictory advice, absurd doctors' appointments, and the wild world of online support forums that range from cult-like to totally bloody batshit.
The last straw comes when Heidi receives a patronising company-wide email from HR supporting ‘women of a certain age'. Heidi accidentally hits ‘reply all' when calling out the b******t, only to suddenly find herself the inadvertent face of the menopause in her office…
Hot (Not Bothered) is the new hilarious novel about the menopause, second (or third) chance love – and the unexpected ways in which we can find our tribe at any age.
