Synopsis: SUNDAY REILLY IS ALL OUT OF F*CKS TO GIVE

Life might be telling Sunday Reilly she’s past her use-by date. 

But she’s not planning to go quietly.

‘It’s two months on a Greek island,’ I said, ‘working holiday.’ 

‘The kids didn’t mention anything,’ he said. 

‘That’s because they don’t know yet,’ I said. 

Neither did I till that moment.

Cue me realising that this might just be the worst decision I’ve ever made.

You don’t know me very well yet, but believe me, that’s a very high bar.

Sunday Reilly has been many things. An author. A mother. A wife. A daughter. A friend. A lover. But that’s all about to change. Thisis Sunday’s story as she upends her life and takes off for the Greek islands on a whim in search of adventure and romance. 

As she barely makes it through a string of riotously funny near disasters, Sunday learns to embrace a new kind of freedom in one of the most beautiful corners of the planet. A journey that was meant to be a distraction from truths she would rather forget becomes an opportunity for transformation as she embarks on a new phase of life.

SUNDAY REILLY IS ALL OUT OF F*CKS TO GIVE is funny, outrageous, angry, and heartbreaking, because life for women of a certain age is all those things. This is an uplifting and tender coming-of-age story for the middle-agers about the search for a new chapter in life full of love, meaning, and purpose after all those things have been stripped away.

~*~

Things in Sunday’s life are falling apart. Her husband, Timothy (sorry, Timothée) is making demands about money, and going to Bali to the christening of his new baby with new partner, Angel. He’s threatening to stop supporting or helping her and their kids, Ruby and Harry if she doesn’t abide by his demands. Her career is hanging on by a thread, and she could lose her home pretty soon. But Sunday isn’t going to go quietly and fade away. Nope. She’s taking her menopausal self on a two-month holiday to Greece…but in true Sunday style, things don’t really go to plan. From the luscious party hosted by a Greek magnate who is stuck in a bed, to being cast out of the first island she goes to for disgracing herself, finding a family, and being pulled into the celebrity world as a ghostwriter, things are as rocky as being on a small boat in a turbulent storm.

But Sunday is going to things her way, even when she feels like all her bridges have been burnt. Even when it feels like people are only starting to like her because of her proximity to Miles Beauchamp, who is so perfect that there must be some kind of flaw somewhere. She’s out of patience with everything. Sick of the judgement women face, whatever decisions they make, and she’s really, really not going to give any thought to her ex-husband’s new life. Especially if he’s only going to ask for her help when it suits him.

Sunday’s story is about entering a time of life when the kids have grown up, when things are changing physically, emotionally and in every other way possible. It’s about a woman having a voice, at a time when other people around her are trying to make her invisible. But Sunday’s irreverent style and determination to prove she’s not the stereotype everyone sees her as makes the novel interesting, makes it work so well. Because she doesn’t shy away from speaking her mind, or doing what she wants to do (within reason, she hasn’t completely packed it it). And she’s eager to make a work opportunity work – even if it means giving people involved the finger to prove a point about things.

It’s about finding yourself, standing up for yourself, and embracing the things that make you happy. Whilst ditching the people and things that don’t and working out how to show those people what happens when you mess with someone who just really doesn’t care anymore, and who doesn’t care about being demure or what society expects her to be. This is a book about being yourself. About standing up against judgement and not caring about what the world or people who look down on you think. And about embracing that. Sunday is ready to start the next chapter of her life and she’s not going to let judgement or expectation change how she does things. And, she’s the kind of person who will always be there for her friends, her true friends who are always there for her. This is a book for women over a certain age to be seen, to be heard and to finally, show people that they are over it. Over being seen in certain ways and over being told how she should be behaving. This is a book for anyone and any woman who has ever felt this way or wants to make a change and start being seen as her own person, not an extension of the identities society puts on her. A very good and interesting book that I hope finds its readers.
