-Employed (you have frequent nightmares about your job)

-Single and fabulous (swiping Tinder in your pyjamas while your best friend shops for engagement rings)

-Thriving (surviving)

Ivy and Mia have been best friends since the fun, messy, hungover years of their twenties.

Ten years later, Mia has it all - the man, the house, the career. Ivy is skint, single, and scared that she isn't a 'hot mess' any more - she's a walking disaster.

But one night, Ivy switches her phone off, peels last night's drunken pizza off the sofa, and makes a list. A list that changes everything . . .

The new Ivy has a proper job. She goes on fancy dates in wine bars. She's starting to think: maybe 'faking it till you make it' is easy

But then she meets Scott.

Curly-haired, sarcastic Scott.

Sh*t.

Reviews

I ABSOLUTELY BLOODY LOVED IS THIS IT Ivy is pretty much my favourite character to spend time with and I adored following her as she stepped into her own. Hannah writes with heart cut with a sharp, dark humour that had me snorting with laughter. Hannah crafts characters with such life that at times I forgot I was reading at all. Needless to say, I'd share a bottle of wine with Ivy in a heartbeat.

-- Abigail Mann, author of The Lonely Fajita
Hannah is a truly gifted comic writer with a great talent for guiding readers through the dark and finding the light.
