From the author of Women's Prize for Fiction shortlisted Where'd You Go, Bernadette - soon to be a major motion picture directed by Richard Linklater.
Eleanor Flood is going to clean up her act, only change into yoga clothes for yoga, which today she will actually attend, and be a better version of herself. But then, as it always does, life happens. Eleanor's husband is missing, and their son, Timby, is wearing eye shadow to school and getting into fashion battles on the playground. (It's true that it's Eleanor's fault: She did put makeup in his Christmas stocking.) Just when it seems like things can't get weirder or more in the way of Eleanor's personal transformation, a graphic memoir called The Flood Sisters surfaces, and the dramatic story it tells reveals long-buried secrets and a sister to whom Eleanor never speaks. With all the artistic madness, genius plotting, and bold social observation that made Bernadette a hit, TODAY WILL BE DIFFERENT is a hilarious and heart filled day-in-the-life romp filtered through Maria Semple's brilliant eye.

The joy, as before, is in the narrative voice... Brilliant set-pieces include a scene of existential despair in CostCo, a flashback to a hideous society wedding in the deep south, and Dr Joe's epiphany during a Seattle Seahawks game.. Semple reaffirms her gift for creating memorable, monstrous characters (THE GUARDIAN)
This whip-smart, bleakly humorous study of how we live now is full of finely drawn characters and deserves to widen her fanbase. (SUNDAY TIMES)
It's funny and silly but also poignant and more than a little reminiscent of Semple's bestselling Where'd You Go, Bernadette (MAIL ON SUNDAY)
There are some good lines and more than a few laughs, plus occasional pungent observations on life (DAILY MAIL)
With its sparky gags and quirky cast of characters, never has a meltdown been so entertaining (GLAMOUR)
One to Watch: Where'd You Go, Bernadette established Maria Semple as a brilliant comic writer. Today Will Be Different, about a middle-aged mum who is desperately trying to keep control of her life despite having one of those days, is just as smart, funny and original. (GOOD HOUSEKEEPING)
sees Semple once again writing about a difficult woman with gleeful empathy and humour that can turn on a knife edge to heartbreak (RED)
Whipsmart, dazzling, darkly comic and deeply touching. I loved it! (Marian Keyes)
I adore it. Every bit as smart - and smart-arsed - as BERNADETTE . . . this is wonderful (Sam Baker, author of THE WOMAN WHO RAN and co-founder of THE POOL)
So unique, so smart, so funny, so beautifully humane, so utterly of our times, it's astonishing (Gillian Flynn, author of GONE GIRL)
The new novel from Maria Semple, author of bestselling Where'd You Go, Bernadette and writer for hit US TV shows Ellen and Saturday Night Live. Meet Eleanor Flood, who wakes up one day determined to be her best self.
