‘Escapist summer reading at its best.' Jill Mansell
Tess Simpson needs a break!

No one appreciates her at home. No one appreciates her at work. And now her dog has died. She’s had enough!

Maybe what she really needs is a break from hopeless husband, Dave, the ungrateful ‘kidults’ and the lacklustre job.

River Romero needs a break!

She’s had success in the past, but screenwriting is a tough career in a tough town and her next script has got to fly or River’s dream career is over.

The swap!

Everything about River’s L.A. life sounds exciting to Tess, from the condo with a pool, to the Hollywood glitz.

Everything about Tess’s English country life sounds so calming to River, from the wisteria over the front door to the peaceful bedroom.

Both women want their lives to change, but real life isn’t like the movies.

And what if getting away from it all isn’t all it’s cracked up to be?

A laugh out loud emotional read, perfect for fans of Fiona Gibson, Tracy Bloom and Sophie Ranald!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I'm a writer who lives in Glasgow, Scotland. Worn out Wife Seeks New Life is my 19th novel, but my previous books, including the Annie Valentine personal shopper series, are currently under wraps and getting a makeover. They will start to reappear in shiny new covers towards the end of 2021.

There has been quite a gap since I last had a book out and now that I'm back, I can only say that it's been too long since I was sharing my work, stories and characters with readers. It's really fantastic to be back and I hope you love the new book. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll probably tweak your wardrobe just a little!

Such a different story with laughs and tears

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2022

I found this book quite captivating. The family featured were all having crisis of all different types and weren't sure which way to turn. Dave and his wife Jess were in totally different occupations; Dave being an artist and a teacher in that subject, and Jess an expert in dealing with accountancy. Jess does not feel at all appreciated and she is literally fed up with it all. When the holiday she had planned with her family fell through she ends up swapping houses with River, a script writer, living in LA. This was to last several weeks. Lots of changes in their lifestyles ensued.
Their son, Alex, was saying everything was great in his job and he was feeling fine but was that actually true.
The lady, River, who she swops with, is a script writer with a deadline to keep.
Some parts in this book are funny, some very sad, but in all, the book was very entertaining.

I have really enjoyed this book. I needed the pick me up it has provided. As it happens, I know the places where it is set, all of them, though LA by proxy, but it wouldn’t matter if you didn’t. This story has always some notes that sound in ones own experiences. Thank you for this. I may yet get my hair dyed a different colour!

Read in 2 days between work as i couldn't put it down. Carmen reid is such a good author that you feel part of the book. Midlife cliches are through the book but realistic and you feel like any of the characters could be you.
Defo recommend!

The book started well but then Bella died the way it was written had me completely enmeshed. I cried and cried.It was so well described.
Having recovered from the beginning I could not put it down it was so insightful into family dynamics. I love this book
Thank you Carmen for a fabulous unexpected read

Although nearly 10 years older than Tess she spoke to me in many ways, especially in her son Alex, luckily my own child didn't get to the depths he did, but it came close. But to have her bravery and head off for an adventure, that I hope to do one day

This book shows as we get older it's not out of the question to learn new things and go on adventures. Liked the characters but so glad that the storyline was not predictable. Enjoyed it especially as it got nearer the end when you got to know all the characters.

Well. Wow I just loved this book and the characters. I totally needed a change in normal reads of thriller and doom and gloom. I really just needed a pick me up. Not a self help book but a fresh easy breezy read something to distract that was easy to relate too. I really felt I knew the characters by the end of the book and could easily strike a friendship up with Tess. Well done and thank you.
