Synopsis

Trust me, there is life and love (and plenty of laughter) after divorce, even when your ex is one of Australia’s highest profile sport stars.

Actually, I Don’t Like Cricket Or Blow Jobs! (And to be honest, I suck at both.) Yes, that was what I originally wanted to call this book. But then I realised that some women like cricket. Also, reading this in front of your inquisitive seven-year-old could lead to some awkward conversations. So, in stepped Currently Between Husbands to save the day and any blushes.
 
Having a relationship in the spotlight is hard enough, but in Currently Between Husbands, Cathrine Mahoney details the unique experience of breaking up with one of Australia's highest profile sport stars. Even for a self-confessed over-sharer, the breakdown of her marriage to rugby league player Andrew Johns was more public than she was used to. In her first book, the writer, podcaster and publicist provides a self-deprecating and hilarious look at her life – from fashion mistakes and early crushes as a kid growing up in Wales, to her years working with some of the world's biggest stars at Sony Music, to navigating life and love as a ‘solo’ mum, and coming to terms with hitting the big 4-0. Currently Between Husbands is the equivalent of having a chat with your bestie over a drink or two, with all the inappropriate confessions, front bottom revelations and teary moments that entails.

‘Desperately funny, fearless and full of heart.’ Meg Mason, author of Sorrow and Bliss

‘Strap in. You’re in for a fabulous ride. And you’ll be wishing (like I was before I knew her) that she was your friend. It’s a bloody good book, and I didn’t want it to end.’ Amanda Keller OAM, radio and TV host

‘My all-time favourite movie is Bridget Jones’ Diary – to anoint a real-life version is a big deal – but Cathrine Mahoney is it Bridget to a tee. I’d pay to read a post it note she wrote, let alone a book. Cathrine’s ability to be funny, clever, relatable, self-deprecating and just so loveable is unlike anyone I’ve ever met.’ Erin Molan, TV presenter, radio host and writer

About Cathrine Mahoney

Cathrine Mahoney is an English, curly-haired Capricorn. A publicist by trade, who never leaves the house without a red lip on. She has called Sydney home for the past 20 years after moving from the UK in 2000, in part on the advice of a horoscope column. She has one son (that she knows of) called Louis, whom she loves to bits and enjoys embarrassing daily, that she shares with her ex-husband, former rugby league player and TV commentator Andrew Johns.Mahoney is a self-confessed oversharer whose only filter is the one she uses on her Instagram photos. She is constantly using ‘Doctor Google’ and is convinced she is hitting early menopause (but, as her actual doctor reassures her, it is just the scorching hot Australian summer that’s making her feel like a red-hot mess and not ‘the change’ . . . yet).After 20 years as a celebrity publicist she has taken a leap of faith and quit her day job to follow her dream to tell stories and write. She also hosts two podcasts: So, I Quit My Day Job and Not Another Parenting Podcast.For more Cathrine, see:www.cathrinemahoney.comwww.instagram.com/cathrinemahoney


Reviews

Goodreads review by Lauren on June 12, 2022

Just gorgeous. Sarah McGilvray is right - she’s the best friend you wish you had. Cathrine is hilarious and just goes there with the stories that you’ve experienced but perhaps haven’t shared with anyone or only the very closest of friends. I devoured the book in two days and didn’t want to stop read......more

Quotes

'[O]utrageously funny and, at times, deeply honest.'

'Cathrine has such a unique voice, with self-deprecating humour that has made me laugh from the day I met her 20 years ago. It’s time the rest of the world got to laugh along and her stories.'

'I adore Cath, to blazon her self-deprecation in such an endearing way encapsulates the courageous and hilarious woman she is.'

'Currently Between Husbands is like watching Robbie William’s pash a fan on stage at his concert. Sometimes awkward, kinda hot, very funny but mainly you spend the whole time wishing it was you. Even in her darkest moments, Cathrine lives a life fuller than the rest of us put together. Smart, beautiful and wise. Consider my pelvic floor muscles tested. She’s the best friend you’ll want for life, but you’ll have to fight me for her.'

'Desperately funny, fearless and full of heart.'

'Cathrine has this uncanny ability to write in a way that makes you feel like you are sitting down with your best friend having a cup of tea. I laughed, cried and had so much fun reading every word. This book is more than a memoir, it is the companion every woman needs beside her as she navigates life, love and everything in between.'

'There is one question I have asked Cath 100 times over, “Did that really happen?” Cath’s stories are like a Viennetta ice cream with the three layers being, disbelief, blunt honesty and brilliant storytelling. To add to that, it’s bloody funny and you’re left wanting more. No one else I know can share a story like Cath. I’m looking forward to the TV show.'

'It is a page-turning wild, spiritual, ridiculously funny, candid, generous, raw and crystal-fuelled adventure.'

'You don't have to be divorced to love this book – it's simply a story about love and life. We all need a Cath in our girl tribe, she is unfiltered, gets what it's like to try and find "the one," and will make you do that snort-laugh thing that you can only do around your girlfriends.'

'Cathrine Mahoney is the girlfriend we all need. Pour yourself a vodka (that's enough soda, thanks!) and get ready for a hilarious and honest take on life, love and starting over.'
