Being a Thirtysomething man isn’t easy (especially when you still yearn to be a Twentysomething man). Meet Harry Spencer, history teacher, lover of snack food and terrified of growing up. However, when his wife Emily drops the P-Bomb, Harry is suddenly thrust into the role of expectant father. Cue baby doctor visits, breast-pump demonstrations, morning sickness, food cravings, self-help books, family therapy sessions, trips to Mothercare, cold sweats and the birthing class from hell.
However, when he’s tempted by the greener grass of an ex-girlfriend past, he must make the most important decision of his life. Will Harry have what it takes to become a man or will he succumb to the lure of adolescent fantasy? And when Emily finds out, will he be able to save his marriage or will his efforts to finally grow-up all be in vain?
With an eclectic cast of extras including his gregarious Grandfather, who just wants to have sex before he dies, terrorist neighbours (who aren’t quite what they seem), Steve and Fiona (the most annoying parents in the world) and a love-sick squirrel.
Set in London, This Thirtysomething Life: A Diary, is a love story about what happens after we've fallen in love. Brutally honest, riotously funny and often heartwarming, this is a diary about one man’s bumbling journey on the road to adult (and father) hood.
This Thirtysomething Life: A Diary will be available to buy at http://ma2books.webplus.net/ next May.
