The Unexpected

<strong>A funny, addictive and poignant novel about what happens when the lines between friendship, romance, and family begin to blur.</strong>

'Loved this clever and funny novel' Anna Mazzola

Kessie and Robin have been best friends since they were small. Now they've reached their mid-thirties, and biological clocks are ticking loudly. But Kessie is single, Robin's partner is ambivalent about trying for a baby, and single parenting sounds almost impossible.

When one of them gets pregnant, the other finds herself helping out to an extent that neither had expected. How far is a supportive friend supposed to go? What do you do when you feel like a mother to a child who isn't yours? Are there alternative ways to conceive of a family?
