On Saturday it's my birthday. It will also mark the 1 year since my husband announced he was having an affair and left me. I'm having big wobbles and my normal go to authors aren't distracting enough. I need something uplifting/funny please. I love Matt Haig but find his books swing from hilarious to depressing so more of the funny stuff please.
