About this listen

*The unforgettable new novel from the bestselling author of Olive*

Funny, fierce and life-affirming, TABLE FOR ONE is a love letter to you.

If in doubt, date yourself.

' A fast-paced, funny and touching story about smart young women’ ELIZABETH GILBERT

'It's a fabulous read' RUTH JONES

'Funny, warm yet galvanising' JENNIE GODFREY

‘Joyful and affirming, this is a dopamine hit of a book' CLAIRE DAVERLEY

***

Willow has everything worked out.

*The steady partner

*The successful career

*The grown-up house

Until she doesn’t – and she’s cast adrift on the sea of heartbreak, grieving a future with no clear path.

With her life transformed beyond recognition, and her friends busy ‘moving forwards’, Willow has never felt more alone.

But she’s in good company.

And when inspiration arrives from an unlikely source, she rekindles the relationship she longs for – but has long neglected… The one with herself…
