A fun light read at times . Madison thinks every thing is perfect then her famous husband leaves and it is a shock . I loved the opening chapter about the ice skating . That will make you laugh . She grows stronger and stronger . Her work is not making her happy either. Ended well .A nice wet Saturday afternoon read

Maddison is married to Rich, a handyman on television with big ambitions to host his own show. They have two children and a happy life, or so Maddison thought. She is completely thrown when Rich says he needs to move out for a while, he needs space. Maddison just wants things to go back to how they were, but will they? I enjoyed reading this book very much. It wasn’t what I expected and that made it so much more fun. I warmed to Maddison from the beginning and was rooting for her, whilst she was discovering who she was, and what she wanted from life too. I look forward to reading any future books from the author. Many thanks to NetGalley and Publisher for an advanced e-book copy. Opinions about the book are entirely my own.

Well I read this In one sitting it’s a lovely read which has the warmth and fun you get from seeing Alison on tv. I was really routing for Madison in this story and was really pleased with the ending. I can’t say more than that without ruining the story but in this book after years of marriage and two kids Madisons world is turned upside down when her husband Richard walks out and says he needs time to think. As she gets no answers from him about what is happening her whole world is falling apart and she has to reevaluate everything she thought she wanted from life. A great novel with a strong powerful woman as the lead. Don’t miss this one!

Bombshell by Alison Hammond is a debut book by the TV presenter, it is very entertaining, funny and sad and is a surprisingly good read. Madison is married to the nation’s heart throb handyman, Rich with two children, she has always put their own needs first, even letting her own career take a back seat. Then Rich drops a bombshell and announces that he needs time to himself and he is moving out for a time. Madison turns to her friends for support but it is a stranger, she meets who helps her the most. Whilst in the middle of all this anguish, Madison’s interior design business, suddenly takes off and she realises that she can cope on her own. A feel good read at Christmas, that is entertaining, humorous and sad at the same time. I enjoyed reading, this as my first book of the New Year. Highly recommended

An emotional, fun and twisty read full of bombshells. I loved Madison and felt for her so much, she was trying to keep everything together for her family and I wished her husband had been upfront sooner. This is a gorgeous book, with a big heart and an equally powerful message about finding yourself and starting a new chapter. Five stars. Thank you to the authors, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an ARC.
