| book description |
‘Loved this clever and funny novel’ Anna Mazzola 'A heartwarming depiction of female friendship as a bond stronger than any other' The Times 'Moving' Daily Mail 'A thought-provoking and unputdownable story about the interconnectedness of female friendship, love, romance and family' My Weekly A funny, addictive and poignant novel about what happens when the lines between friendship, romance, and family begin to blur. For fans of Meg Mason and Dolly Alderton. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************* Kessie and Robin have been best friends since they were small. Now they’ve reached their mid-thirties, and biological clocks are ticking loudly. But Kessie is single, Robin’s partner is ambivalent about trying for a baby, and single parenting sounds almost impossible. When one of them gets pregnant, the other finds herself helping out to an extent that neither had expected. How far is a supportive friend supposed to go? What do you do when you feel like a mother to a child who isn’t yours? Are there alternative ways to conceive of a family? ********************************************************************************************************************************************************* ‘Wiles writes with humour, tenderness and wisdom' Marianne Levy 'An intelligent, thought-provoking, tender and very real exploration of friendship, pregnancy and the changing face of modern parenting' Susannah Wise 'I didn't want this novel to end…offers a brutally honest portrait of motherhood in its joys and despairs.
