Meet Frankie.
After leaving Twatface her husband of twenty years she's starting again from scratch.
With her brilliant son, Jay, off to university, shes even getting used to the empty nest often popping over to best friend Bels for a sneaky smoke in the shed, just like old times.
But when Twatface moves in with his suspiciously new girlfriend, the betrayal cuts deep, and Frankie decides to concoct a plan for living her best new life.
Step one: Find an income. Having recently opened her very own quilting shop, Frankie drums up business by starting a crafting group. But God knows if anyone will actually turn up
Step two: Sign up for dating apps: one for love, another for casual hook-ups (because why the hell not!)
However, as Frankie navigates this new frontier of catfishing, kittenfishing, ghosts, DILFs and everything in between, she realises the whole dating thing has changed quite a bit and it really is a bloody jungle out there.
Will Frankie find love on the apps Or the perfect shag Or if theres any justice in the world both
Divorced Not Dead is a no-holds-barred, heartfelt and laugh-out-loud hilarious romcom about being fifty, divorced and getting back on the horse perfect for fans of Alexandra Potter, Marian Keyes and Jane Fallon.
