GOOD NEWS FOR KOKO NUTS!
Mom-turned-blogger-turned-author Amy Koko’s “There’s Been a Change of Plans” is now available on paperback. The comic memoir from Martin Brown Publishers chronics her divorce and return to single life after 27 years of marriage after her husband has an affair.
Described as “in the literary tradition of Nora Ephron’s ‘Heartburn’,” it tells how she tried “everything from thong underwear to a min-facelift to save her marriage,” before coming to grips with Match.com and finding a job for the first time.
— New York Daily News
“Koko has her own unique author’s voice and writing style, but that same ability to look at the highs and lows of life with humour.”
