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
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

What a treat!
Absolutely delightful, best one I've read in a while. Impeccable narration too. A real treat that reflects contemporary life in London and beyond.

Enjoyable and well written
Really enjoyed listening to this book. The narrator was excellent. Loved the characters and thought it was very relatable in terms of living in London and buying your first property and also friendships and relationships. It flowed really well and I liked the writing style.
I was expecting it to be funny but for me, it wasn't at all, but it didn't detract from the enjoyment of the book apart from wondering when it was going to start being funny.
Lovely book overall. Would definitely recommend.
