The Toyboy Rules

by Emily Goode

'Deliciously true-to-life, and joyfully funny,' Claire Fuller, author of Our Endless Numbered Days 'An up-lifting story of middle-age blossoming,' Kate Long, author of The Bad Mother's Handbook When Anna’s husband leaves her for a younger model, the university lecturer and mother of two feels that everything about her is out of date, from her CV to her dating skills. Faced with losing her house and her job, she embarks on a mission to put this right. But is starting a relationship with a much younger colleague really the answer? Her friends, teenage daughter and (almost) ex-husband certainly don’t think so, and it’s not long before Anna realises she is way out of her depth. Film stars may happily embrace their 'toyboy' lovers, but when you are over 45, living in the sticks, and your boobs are pointing further south than you would like, it's a very different story. A delightfully funny, heart-warming and honest account of a woman doing her best to stay strong in the face of her changing world.
