Kate Reddy is back! This is the follow-up to the international best seller I Don't Know How She Does It, the novel that defined modern life for women everywhere. This time she's juggling teenagers, aging parents and getting back into the workplace, and every minute will have you laughing and thinking: it's not just me. Kate Reddy is counting down the days until she is 50, but not in a good way. Fifty, in Kate's mind, equals invisibility.

Kate Reddy are tot ce-şi doreşte o femeie împlinită: casă de vis (sau pe-aproape), doi copii iubitori şi un soţ ca nimeni altul. Copiii au crescut şi au devenit adolescenţi (a se citi "nişte monştri"), Richard, soţul ideal, şi-a dat demisia, îşi pierde vremea pe velodrom, bea tot felul de sucuri sănătoase, se-mbracă din cap pînă-n picioare în lycra şi cheltuie banii familiei pe şedinţe de consiliere. Şi cum Richard, în drumul lui spre înţelepciune, nu mai are salariu, Kate trebuie să se întoarcă la muncă.

Sie ist Mitte dreißig und die einzige weibliche Führungskraft einer Londoner Investmentfirma. Außerdem ist Kate die Mutter von Emily (6) und Ben (1). Trotz verständnisvollem Ehemann und perfekter Organisation schrammt sie chronisch am Rand der Katastrophe entlang. Verspätete Flugzeuge oder verschwundene Kuscheltiere sind Zeitbomben.
