An always hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking new novel from the publishers of Marian Keyes and Dolly Alderton.
Seed is raw, hilarious and so lifelike I kept forgetting I wasn't reading about real people. I felt every frustration, every high and every low as if these women were my friends. A heartfelt, funny, unforgettable read. I loved it. - Rachael Johns
