Hello!
I have a vague memory of a book I read sometime in the last few years and it’s driving me mad trying to remember what it is!
So all I really remember is the main character is a women who is a mother to 2 girls of school age (I think)
I think the book starts with her being invited to go for drinks with colleagues. She ends up so drunk and in a complete state and you’re meant to think it’s a one off but it turns out she’s an alcoholic. Secretly drinking when the kids are at school etc.
The husband finds out and their marriage falls apart.
I think it’s set in the UK but not sure.
Its sort of a dark comedy as I remember some bits were quite funny.
I know it’s pretty vague but anyone any ideas?
Thanks

It sounds a bit like Amanda Prowse's Another Love but the alcoholic mum has one child, not two.
It's very good even if it's not the one you're looking for!

One of the characters in Marian Keyes This charming man is an alcoholic mother of two school aged girls but she is one of 4 main characters and her story isn’t first.
