An addictively fresh and sharp novel from the author of The Single Mum’s Wish List, exploring themes of motherhood and identity.

Mother- a woman considered in relation to her child or children.

Wife- a woman considered in relation to her spouse.

Shouldn’t there be more?

Alison has built her life around her family. Every day she packs lunches, rushes to work, and breaks up her daughter’s squabbles. She’s bored, restless and hungry for some excitement.

Perhaps the charismatic Frank could be what she’s missing. But is Frank all he makes out to be? And what if a new, glamorous life isn’t quite what she needs?
