"I dare you not to fall wildly in love with Grace...It's a book about love, about grace, about even when we fall from those we love we can always find our way home...You will laugh on the first page and you will keep laughing until you're crying on the last page." ―Jenna Bush Hager, The Today Show's #ReadwithJenna
Bernadette, Eleanor Oliphant, Rosie, Ove . . . meet Amazing Grace Adams, the funny, touching, unforgettable story of an invisible everywoman pushed to the brink--who finally pushes back.
Grace Adams gave birth, blinked, and now suddenly she is forty-five, perimenopausal and stalled--the unhappiest age you can be, according to the Guardian. And today she's really losing it. Stuck in traffic, she finally has had enough. To the astonishment of everyone, Grace gets out of her car and simply walks away.
Grace sets off across London, armed with a £200 cake, to win back her estranged teenage daughter on her sixteenth birthday. Because today is the day she'll remind her daughter that no matter how far we fall, we can always get back up again. Because Grace Adams used to be amazing. Her husband thought so. Her daughter thought so. Even Grace thought so. But everyone seems to have forgotten. Grace is about to remind them . . . and, most important, remind herself.

Great book! Read it in a little over a day. Goes to show that if you put your mind to something and don’t give up….. you’ll get there!
Incredibly interesting and sad read. A twist that you might or might not see comingLoved it
This book didn’t really get interesting until the last 80%. Before that I was just slogging through. Of course, after all of that it wrapped up in a minute. I do not recommend.
For a short book, this felt a bit long. There was a lot of back and forth between timelines which made it feel disjointed at times. Grace was relatable.
Grace Adam’s made me weep, laugh and experience great sadness. It’s a raw emotional read. Some surprising twists along the way.
