Publication Day: The Grown Up To-Do List

 

The Grown Up To-Do List | Jennifer Joyce

Today is Publication Day for my new book, The Grown Up To-Do List


The Grown Up To-Do List | Jennifer Joyce

Her friends are bossing life - is she being left behind?

25-year-old Cleo is happy enough. She likes her job in the fish and chip shop in the North West seaside town where she grew up. But her world has become very small - all her friends couldn’t wait to leave home and are off, apparently crushing life. They have shiny careers and creative side-hustles, while she is still living with her mum and dad.

But when she learns that her dream childhood boyfriend is coming back to town for a party in three months, she decides she needs to start adulting to win him.

But what does being a grown-up really mean? And can she become one in three months?




I'm so pleased Cleo's story is finally out and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I wrote the first draft back in 2020, during lockdown, and it was a joy to slip into a non-Covid world for a little while each day.

If you do read and enjoy The Grown Up To-Do List, I'd love it if you could leave a little review over on Amazon. A sentence or two is enough and it'd make my day and help other readers find books they'd enjoy too.
