No job. No love life. Perhaps it’s time to THINK AGAIN Ellie Allard isn’t quite where she thought she'd be by her late thirties. Though she’s got her beautiful daughter, her beloved cat and the best friends anyone could wish for, her love life is non-existent and she feels like she’s been living on auto-pilot, just grateful to be able to afford the rent on her poky little flat. But on her fortieth birthday, it seems it’s time for all that to change – whether Ellie wants it to or not. As she navigates new, exciting and often choppy waters, she’s about to discover that life will never stop surprising you – if only you let it.
