About this listen

 ‘I read this book in two sit downs! It is filled with compassion. An honest look at navigating life, marriage, family, neurodiversity and veg.’ Anna Maxwell Martin

‘A truly beautiful, magical book – I urge you to give it to anyone having a midlife wobble, because Lucy is unashamed about showing her vulnerability and what it is to be human, a woman, a wife and a mum in the 21st century. Heart-breaking and heart-warming, but the ultimate message is one of hope: never give up on the one you love.’ Veronica Henry

"On National Divorce Day, my husband Steve and I decide to break up. After years of depression and mood swings (him) and hope and defeat (me) enough is, quite frankly, enough.

Until a chance remark triggers a chain of events leading to Steve’s diagnosis of ADHD and autism. What follows is a year of discovery, denial, medication and salvation as we, our teenagers and even our beloved Golden Retriever, Margot, set out to embrace this new reality. But will my plan to start an amateur honesty box business from our tiny Devon village be the catalyst to bring us together, or drive us further apart?

This is about what it is like to try and rebuild a marriage. It is a funny, heart-wrenching, uplifting quest for truth, transformation and marrows.

I guess you could call it a love story too."

‘A beautiful and much needed book about what it is like to be in a relationship with someone who is neurodivergent, and the challenges it can bring! Lucy’s story highlights just how life changing a diagnosis can be, and how it can truly save relationships.’ Rich and Rox Pink, @adhd_love_©2025 Lucy Brazier (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Children's Health Relationships Marriage Funny Inspiring Mental Health Health

Critic reviews

Touching, topical and brilliantly woven together, this love story of despair, food and redemption is utterly charming. (Dame Joanna Lumley)
Entertaining, enlightening, shocking and soothing. The joy of gorgeous nature writing mixed with the guilty pleasure of enjoying intimate access to the ups and downs of someone else’s private life. I learnt a great deal about neurodivergence and now want to set up an honesty box. (Poppy Okotcha)
Beautifully written, by someone who observes nature in all its glorious daily unfolding. (Dorset Magazine)

Hugely useful insight into someone else living with a neurodivergent partner.Thanks for making me feel normal when everyone else seems cuckoo!

Like listening to my story.

I think if you read this, without living in a ND household, you might think it’s a work of fiction! Utterly brilliant, heartbreakingly honest. I listened on a long journey, it was the perfect length for my return trip, and I laughed, cried and recognised so much of my life along the way. This book should be handed out by GPs at point of referral. It gave me comfort that my reactions/thoughts in certain situations are ok, taught me I need to be a bit less controlling and I have bought two hard copies, one for me to keep and return to and one for my daughter-in-law who now has the ADHD part of my household.

Honesty at its finest

Tender, hilarious, frank and painful. A very brave story of living with neurodivergence. It resonated on so many levels. Thank you Lucy & Steve for your bravery and honesty. ♥️

Honesty & laugh out loud moments.
