    Single mothers can relate to The Woman Who Upped and Left
  

*by C***G on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2016*

The Woman Who Upped and Left was a delightful read. As an American, I found the British phrases quite endearing and alovely change of pace.With refreshing prose and dialogue, this story rings true for women, especially single parents. While many may not admit it outwardly, most single mothers would agree to fantasizing about getting in the car and just driving, away from the problems, the bills, and the “mundane practicalities” of life, looking at least for a respite from the responsibilities and the remote possibility of an exciting encounter. Single mothers know the slight tinge of guilt they feel when they have the slightest bit of a good time without their children, and can completely relate to having to cut short their activities because a child needs them, just as Audrey did when Morgan called while she was at Wilton Grange. We can also commiserate with parents like Audrey who are a bit disappointed with their child’s choices as they travel into adulthood even as we know we did the best we could to raise them. As Audrey ventures into the world again as her own person, she has some missteps, but eventually she realizes the things she likes (and doesn’t like), what she is good at, and more importantly, finds and makes peace with her true self. When she is authentic, her relationships flourish. Just as upping and leaving is exhilarating, so too is coming home to a rich and fulfilling life.

    She didn't really up and leave
  

*by N***U on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2017*

This is a good book to read while on the go; doesn't require much concentration, and it was enjoyable.Audrey didn't really up and left, as the book title said.  Even as she was not physically with her son, her mind kept going back and worrying what's happening with him.  Well, it is how mothers are, that's just the way we are wired.  Her worries about her son, though valid, were eventually eased when he stood up and took responsibility.  Though the undertones of the story were serious (it's about life after all), there were a lot of funny moments in the book, mostly Audrey's musings.Here are my takeaways:1.  Everyone needs a time out, we all deserve it.2.  We will not always get it right the first time, most of the time actually.  The important thing is to learn from when we got it wrong.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Featuring a protagonist that needs to be horsewhipped!
  

*by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2016*

I read a sample of this book and the only reason I dropped $.99 to buy the whole thing was because I wanted to know if the incredibly silly protagonist in the story ever wised up. I don't like reading about stupid people and this woman was definitely over-the-top.  She's one of these moms who wants to be her child's "friend", and as a result she let her 18 year old's girlfriendsleepover night after night after night, having sex in the boy's bedroom and she could hear them! She did not require her son to look for job or tidy up behind himself and she had the apron strings so tight it was looking like there weren't a sharp enough pair of scissors anywhere to cut them. There were other instances throughout the story that proves that if this woman was a real flesh and blood person, she shouldn't be let out of the house without a keeper glued to her side. Aside from my problems with the protagonist, it was an OK book. There was an interesting cast of supporting characters and  many chuckles throughout the story.  And shockingly, in spite of this  extremely naïve  woman, the book has a happy ending.
