A funny, clever, sparkling voice Kate Weinberg

Well, This Is Awkward introduces us to Mairéad, who is single, child-free, and the head of a successful influencer talent agency. Despite the young people at work being mean to her, not having seen her only sister for nine years, and being just one bad date away from giving up on men completely, she feels as though she’s got life sorted.

Then Sunshine arrives. When her militant, off-grid sister has a mysterious accident, Mairéad's inscrutable niece comes to stay, turning her life upside down. It's just for a couple of weeks—surely Mairéad can manage that?

But Sunshine makes her look at every single aspect of her life with different eyes. And Mairéad's afraid nothing will be the same again.
