Description
A sharply funny and well-observed novel about an unconventional family from the award-winning writer, journalist, and podcaster, Nell Frizzell.
After Nancy's father dies, she is faced with two life-changing revelations.
One - She has a half-brother she knew nothing about.
Nancy's world is punched inside out at the discovery of a mysterious new sibling. But she can't help but feel curious about Oliver, this stranger who shares her DNA. Her sister Rita, on the other hand, is furious and wants nothing to do with their 'cuckoo' brother.
Two - She's pregnant.
The father - Nancy's not-quite-boyfriend from her not-quite-relationship - doesn't want to commit any time soon. He isn't even on the same continent as her right now. And with her mother and sister in shock about Oliver, Nancy's struggling to find someone to turn to for support.
In a tumult of grief, fear, and hope, Nancy pushes herself into an uncertain future as she rethinks what really makes a family. But there's one more thought in the back of her head...
Is there space in her family for two more?

She has written and worked for the Guardian, VICE, The Sunday Times, Elle, the BBC, the Observer, Grazia and The Independent among many others. Her first book, The Panic Years, was an exploration of bodies, babies and the big questions facing modern life.
