Everything’s Grand : A BRAND NEW hilarious celebration of friendship from Freya Kennedy for 2026 by Freya Kennedy

Description

Becca Burnside finally has life heading in the right direction. She’s loving her new job, writing magazine features about being a woman in her forties, her boys are happy, her romance with Conal O’Hagan is blossoming – and for once, she actually feels like she’s got it together.

But when Conal starts talking about the future, Becca’s commitment collywobbles kick in with a vengeance. Add in a new grandbaby who’s as adorable as she is exhausting, a Fabulous Forties Club that refuses to organise itself, and her mum giving her more reasons than ever to worry, Becca’s ‘fabulous’ forties are starting to look a lot more FFS. Meanwhile, best friend Laura is discovering there’s more to life than clean laundry and home-cooked dinners.

When she finally enrols in the university course she’s always dreamed of, she realises her family have been taking her for granted – especially when they still expect dinner on the table and their pants ironed, even when she’s not at home! But with a little help from Becca and the gang, Laura’s ready to remind everyone (including herself) that it’s never too late to chase what you really want. Can Becca and Laura hold it all together – or will their fabulous forties turn into full-blown chaos?
