About this listen

A story of falling out of love from the winner of the Comedy Women in Print Award, for fans of Monica Heisey and Dolly Alderton

'A thoughtful and tender take on the concept of "home"' Pandora Sykes

MOVING IN. GROWING UP. FALLING OUT OF LOVE.

Mara’s first year in London hasn’t gone to plan. A hostile housemate and endless tube journeys to see her elusive boyfriend, Tom, weren’t on her vision board.

So when the chance to find her own place arises, Mara is hopeful. She’s desperate for somewhere to start her ‘real life’ – with linen bedding, fresh flowers on the table, and Tom.

But between noisy new neighbours and Tom pushing her away, Mara is about to discover that things aren’t going to be quite so easy to fix.

Critic Reviews

‘Wittily told with bold strokes – a fun but knowing read’ Helen Lederer

'The novel completely pulled me in from the outset … I found it a really moving, observant, convincing read and I know so many twenty-somethings will see themselves in Mara' Niamh Hargan

'This is a heart-warmingly relatable novel that will seriously hit home if you've ever felt overwhelmed or slightly out of place in a big city like London' Cosmopolitan

'Warm, honest, beautifully written' Liz Hoggard, writer and judge of CWIP 2023
