Summary:

Grace Adams gave birth to her daughter, blinked, and now suddenly is no longer in her twenties. One hot summer day, stuck in traffic on her way to pick up the cake for her daughter's sixteenth birthday party, she has had enough. Enough of men staring at her and their catcalls, enough of putting her professional aspirations on hold while her husband's career takes off, enough of disappointment after disappointment. Grace finally snaps. To the astonishment of everyone, she simply gets out of her car... And. Walks. Away. Grace is not walking away from her life, but rather toward it. Grace sets off across London, ultimately armed with a Love Island-themed cake, to win back her estranged daughter, who has banned her from her birthday party. The same estranged daughter who is living with her husband, the husband who is divorcing her. But that is all in the past. 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 importantly, remind herself. Because if failure is the mother of success, then this mother deserves to hit the jackpot. -- Provided by publisher.
