  What's worse than an angry-middle-aged woman? 
  A whole club of them. 
  Everyone around 55-year-old Nell is absolutely infuriating. Her new boss is a sexist pr*ck, her clients can be selfish tw*ts, and the general public? They can p*ss right off! 
  But when Nell loses it at a children’s party entertainer (who definitely deserved it) her family send her to a rage room. Nell finds herself stood there with a baseball bat, being instructed to break as many things as possible by an annoyingly handsome man called Glen… 
  Still, as fun as it is to smash stuff, Nell finds it doesn’t quite hit the spot. Inspired, she starts a new space for herself and the women at work: Rent-A-Rant, a place just for them, to speak their minds, no holds-barred, and to finally be heard. Oh, and to eat loads of biscuits. 
  All these women have a lot to be mad about. But could it be that, instead of getting rid of their fury, they could channel it for good? With Rent-A-Rant’s help, Nell isn’t going to let everything fall apart — she’s going to smash it up. 
  This hilarious and relatable coming-of-middle-rage novel from Harper Ford fights back at bullies and bastards one menopausal rant at a time — the perfect read for fans of Alexandra Potter, Jane Fallon, and Riot Women. 
  For fans of Alexandra Potter (More Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up), Victoria Christopher Murray (Envy), Marie Benedict (The First Ladies), Jane Fallon (Getting Rid of Matthew), and Emily Henry (Beach Read).
