The Not So Secret Emails Of Coco Pinchard
by Robert Bryndza
Coco is a successful writer, happily married, with no mortgage and a teenage son, Rosencrantz. Life seems sweet until husband Daniel gives her an iPhone for Christmas (he always used to buy her jewellery) and announces he has accepted a job in America without telling her. Their marriage disintegrates when she finds him in bed with a younger woman. Coco throws them out and gets very drunk. Waking up the next morning on the bathroom floor she realises she is booked to do a radio interview to promote her novel. Coco, still drunk, makes an on-air joke about the head of an influential Television book club. Her novel is withdrawn and pulped. Her nightmare mother-in law is evicted from her nursing home and comes to stay, and Rosencrantz is mistakenly held on a drugs charge whilst visiting Daniel. Coco's life is transformed when Angie a fearsome literary agent signs her. She also acquires a local allotment, not to grow plants but to get close to Adam, the dashing hunk with the firm produce...Read the emails, which tell the comic tale of her picking up the pieces.
