GLOW: Galley Love of the Week Giveaway brought to you by Shelf Awareness
Enter for a chance to win an early copy of Fran Littlewood's Amazing Grace Adams, a Shelf Awareness Galley Love of the Week!
Bernadette, Eleanor Oliphant, Rosie, Ove . . . meet Amazing Grace Adams, the funny, touching, unforgettable story of an invisible everywoman pushed to the brink—who finally pushes back.
Grace Adams gave birth, blinked, and now suddenly she is forty-five, perimenopausal and stalled—the unhappiest age you can be, according to the Guardian. And today she’s really losing it. Stuck in traffic, she finally has had enough. To the astonishment of everyone, Grace gets out of her car and simply walks away. Grace sets off across London, armed with a £200 cake, to win back her estranged teenage daughter on her sixteenth birthday. Because today is the day she’ll remind her daughter that no matter how far we fall, we can always get back up again. Because Grace Adams used to be amazing. Her husband thought so. Her daughter thought so. Even Grace thought so. But everyone seems to have forgotten. Grace is about to remind them . . . and, most important, remind herself.
"Hugely enjoyable. Compelling, funny and poignant. I devoured it."—Paula Hawkins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Girl On The Train
“I just adored this beautiful debut novel! Funny, moving and at times absolutely heartbreaking, it had me captivated until the very last page. An unforgettable read.”—Liane Moriarty, New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies
“From the first hot minute when Grace Adams, stalled in traffic, stuck in her car, simply opens the door and walks away from it all—into her day, the single day that gathers all her days up to this tipping point at the middle, she had me. How life in the middle of our lives breaks us open—and apart—and then open again. I finished her story on a plane above the country, so full, and in tears. ‘Ma’am?’ my seat-mate asked, ‘are you ok?’ ‘Oh, yes,’ I answered. And gave him this book.”—Sarah Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Postmistress
