It's never too late for a comeback! Forget what you thought midlife looked like! Forty Love is a delightful, hilarious book about reinvention, resilience, and the radical act of starting over.

Forty-something single mum Jules lives next to a tennis club, but has no plans to play after she was put off sport for life as a teenager.

That's doubly true when an old crush from her schooldays, Dr Sam Delaney, is back in their hometown almost three decades after leaving and displaying a killer forehand in direct view of her bedroom window. But when Jules' 19-year-old daughter goes backpacking around Europe, she's wracked with anxiety and in urgent need of a distraction. Rashly, she agrees to join an amateur women's tennis team, who are bottom of every league league, on the verge of collapse.

They are desperate for players. The fact that she can't really play doesn't seem to matter.

Forty Love is a battle cry for women who aren't done yet. Not even close.

'I loved Jules as a character and it was nice to read a book with an older character especially one who was struggling with the dreaded menopause. I found her really relatable... A great 5 star read with a great bunch of characters and plenty of drama' Reader review ?????
