'It is so bloody funny you will be crying with laughter. This is definitely what a rom-com is all about' Reader review ????? 'It's funny, witty, heartbreaking and heartwarming ... I could not put it down' Reader review ?????


It's never too late to follow your dreams...Emily Forsyth is on cloud nine...

She has a high-flying job (literally), a hunky boyfriend (soon to be fiance?) and a life of luxury. But then, out of the blue, her boyfriend dumps her for a younger woman, and Emily comes crashing down to earth.

Suddenly, she's single and homeless, and the prospect of staying in the same job as her cheating ex is unbearable. So, at forty years not-so-young, she quits steady employment and decides to chase her lifelong dream of becoming an actress.

But with eccentric acting teachers, unreliable agents, and some decidedly unglamorous roles on offer, has she made a huge mistake? Or is this the start of something wonderful?

Previously published as Learning to Fly
