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

Mara longs to escape the London rental market and the small, damp flat she shares with her housemate, Lewis (who refuses to wash up cutlery because it makes him feel weird). She wants nothing more than to get into her pyjamas at 6pm and watch Real Housewives in a judgement-free zone.

Then Mara’s prayers are answered as she unexpectedly comes into some money that helps her find a home of her own. She just needs her long-term boyfriend, Tom, to move in so they can be happy and grown-up together.

Except Tom has decided to leave London – and Mara.

Just as her life should be coming together, everything starts to unravel. Navigating a break-up/non-break-up, a best friend accusing her of being self-involved, and a fixation with her new neighbours, will Mara ever be able to shake this homesick feeling?

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
