About Lola Bloom: The Flamingo Diaries by Bree Penfold
Lola Bloom thought turning 40-something in a new country might finally make her feel like she had life figured out.
Instead, she’s questioning everything.
After moving from Canada to England with her husband and teenage sons, Lola finds herself caught somewhere between who she used to be and who she might still become. She’s navigating midlife reinvention, motherhood, marriage, identity, friendship, hormones, regret, and the quiet realisation that maybe it’s not too late to want more.
Funny, heartfelt, and refreshingly honest, this isn’t just a story you read — it’s one you help shape.
At the end of each chapter, readers choose what Lola does next, turning her messy, emotional, hilarious midlife unraveling into an interactive journey full of unexpected twists, relatable moments, and second chances.
Perfect for women 40+ who’ve ever thought:
“Is this really it?”
…while secretly craving a little more adventure, freedom, and themselves again.
