We’re going to need a bigger drink…
Meet Frankie: fifty, divorced and getting back on the horse.
After leaving Twatface – her husband of twenty years – she’s starting again from scratch. And when her son also flees the nest for university, Frankie decides it’s time to throw herself back into the dating game with a vengeance.
On best friend Bel’s recommendation, Frankie signs up to two dating apps: one for love, another for casual hook-ups (because why the hell not?!).
However, as she navigates this new frontier of catfishing, kittenfishing, ghosts, GILFs and everything in between, she realises the whole dating thing has changed quite a bit – and it really is a bloody jungle out there…
Will Frankie find love on the apps? Or the perfect shag?
Or – if there’s any justice in the world – both?

Sneak peek of Divorced Not Dead: -
“I’d have been content to stay with my dementor-ex until doomsday because I thought that’s what middle age was all about. Being somewhere between vaguely and violently unhappy. Making do; putting up; sticking it out. Staying for the sake of the kids. Sleepwalking through midlife in a general malaise. But, somewhere along the way, I woke up. -
”There’s that bit in When Harry Met Sally where Harry says, 'When you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” - Well, that’s how I felt the day I left the marital home and moved into the flat above my shop. Except that the somebody I want to spend the rest of my life with is me. She’s been missing for a while, you see. Me, that is. Frances Brumby. More commonly known as Frankie. And I just found her again…'
