About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Everyone is moving on...and then, there's Hanna.

By 30, Hanna expected to have it all (or at least some of it).

A fulfilling and successful career.

A healthy, long-term relationship, maybe even an engagement ring.

A house (or at least a flat) of her own.

But in reality, she's back at square one....

Single after breaking up with someone she's not sure ever loved her.

Flooded with wedding invitations and pregnancy scan pictures from friends.

Unable to afford to live on her own, moving in with her (also single and dating) father.

Everyone moves at different paces, but Hanna's life is in reverse. With the pressure to keep up and her dad's insufferable musings on Tinder, will she be able to figure out what she really wants?

I loved this book! So funny and observant, but also bitingly sharp and touching. Really nicely read too. I couldn’t stop listening.

Hilarious, touching, sharp, relevant

Maybe because I’m from Oxford and remember a similar youth maybe because it’s so relatable but I really enjoyed it .
