"I was bored, angry, tired and sad. I felt all alone, yet I had nothing to complain about. I had a good job, a husband who wasn't shagging his assistant, three children who apart from being occasional a**holes were pretty good kids; a house, a dog and everything else we are told as little girls we should aspire to.

But inside, I was restless. I didn't want to be seen as 'just a mom'. I wanted to be desired, to make someone's hair stand on end and go crazy for me.

I panicked, and wondered how many years I had left of being 'f**ckable' before everything starts going downhill?"

F*cked at 40 is a funny, raw and empowering mid-life crisis.

When you find authenticity it's like opening a door to the truth - it's hard to go back.

This is what prompted Tova to write this book for herself and for women like her, to say: HERE I AM. This paperback edition of Tova's bestselling memoir includes a brand-new, hilarious chapter on her life, revealing how vibrators didn't just add a zing to life but also provided an income that put food on the table.
