Publisher Description

The follow-up to Turning Thirty, from a writer who has garnered comparisons to Nick Hornby and Helen Fielding.

How to turn 40:

1. Set yourself a personal challenge.
2. Clear wardrobe of all age inappropriate clothing.
3. Relax.

How not to turn 40:

1. Have a complete meltdown.

High flier Matt Beckford's sole ambition is to turn 40 with his life sorted out. And with a Porsche in the driveway and a job that requires him to spend more time in the airport club lounge than his own lounge, it looks like things are going in the right direction.

But when Matt's wife unexpectedly calls time on their marriage, a chain of events is set in motion that very quickly sees him facing 40 broke, homeless, and completely alone. But all is not lost because Matt has a plan.
