It’s Complicated

A smart, perfectly observed and laugh-out-loud funny rom-com about a woman who decides to have a baby with a man she's never met. Perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane and Beth O'Leary.

Dee Jensen's life is about to get complicated...

She's just found out that if she wants to start a family she needs to get on with it - fast. But her almost-definitely boyfriend Nat has almost-definitely just broken up with her.

Could platonic co-parenting - where two friends have a child together with no romantic connection - be the easy answer?

Dee finds herself suggesting the idea to a chef she's just met called Andy. And in the cold light of day he doesn't find it as laughable as she does...

But will feelings surface along the way?

And, in her heart of hearts, does Dee even want a baby?
