It’s not easy being a grown-up, but at 47, Eleanor hoped she’d be better at it by now...

Andrew isn’t mastering the art of growing up either. But when he finds his belongings dumped in bin bags on the drive, even he can see that his girlfriend is hinting he should move out. With no other options, he moves back in with his parents.
Backing onto their garden lives artist Cecilia, living in chaotic clutter and dreaming of her ex-lovers, still acting like a stroppy teenager at the age of 66.

My Review
3☆ An Endearing Women's Fiction. Growing Up For Beginners is a story about relationships and family. I had mixed feelings about this book. I did enjoy it, but it took me a really long time to get into the storyline due to how many characters there are and the slower pace the story unfolds at. Each of the characters have a connection in some way, However some of the story is set in
the past and I did get way laid a little. Not all of the characters are likeable especially Roger who I simply despised the whole time, the way he treated Eleanor was shocking... I mean who cuts pages out of a book just to stop their wife reading a certain way! Eleanor I felt sorry for, she was in a demeaning marriage, in the middle of everyone, trying to please, but she does grow in confidence standing up to Roger and that was wonderful to see. Growing Up For Beginners is an endearing story about family, relationships, connections, loss, secrets, drama and moving on. The characters were well written, complex and not all particularly likeable, but I'm guessing I'm not going to be the only one who despised Roger lol I would definitely recommend reading this book, especially if you enjoy your Women's Fiction to be very Character driven, with a slower pace.💐🌼💐🌼💐🌼💐🌼💐🌼💐🌼💐🌼💐
