A novel of midlife re-invention, chaos, and cheeky self-discovery. Gloria's spent decades being dependable - the dutiful wife, the petrol station worker, the woman who never strayed far from routine. But when a flirtatious coffee machine installer enters her life (along with a pair of salsa shoes and a few questionable text messages), she realises something has to change.
What begins as a steamy affair soon unravels into a hilarious and heartfelt journey of reinvention. From morning regrets to dancefloor triumphs, and passive-aggressive neighbours to unexpected betrayals (hello, Jean in a kimono), Gloria navigates love, lust, and letting go - one mishap at a time.
Packed with sharp humour, raw honesty, and a heroine you'll root for all the way,
Becoming Gloria
is for every woman who's ever wondered: "Is it too late to start over?"
Spoiler: it's not.
