'Funny, tender & relatable at every level... quite simply, wonderful' Jennie Godfrey

After thirty long years, Louisa’s daughters can finally look after themselves … or so she thinks.

Because suddenly, they’re back – apparently for good. Meg’s second-guessing her marriage. Jo’s career hangs in the balance. Amy has inexplicably quit university. None of them empty the dishwasher.

Louisa knows it’s time for some life lessons. She adores her girls, but if she’s ever going to get her (sex) life back, they’ll have to grow up – and go.

But maybe they’re not the only ones with lessons to learn… And Louisa might just discover that her daughters have something to teach her about being an adult too.

'Wonderful, complex, bruising, rewarding... I snaffled it like cake on a rainy day, and enjoyed every morsel!' Amanda Prowse

'An absolute delight - impossibly funny, astute, candid and moving... brilliant.' Rosie Walsh

'Riotously funny, achingly tender... a book to treat yourself to.' Julia Raeside

'Truly fresh, wildly funny and completely charming... some of the most perceptive writing on motherhood I’ve ever read. I adored it.' Lauren Bravo

'Funny, moving, and wonderfully tender... a joyful reminder that growing up never really ends.' Louise O'Neill

'Funny, tender & relatable at every level... quite simply, wonderful'
