Publisher Description
The debut novel about the life-changing choices we make about careers, love, friendship, and motherhood from bestselling UK author Emma Gannon.
Olive is many things. Independent. Driven. Loyal. And a little bit adrift.
She’s okay with still figuring it all out, navigating her world without a compass. But life comes with expectations and big choices to be made. So when her best friends’ lives branch away towards marriage and motherhood, leaving the path they’ve always followed together, she starts to question her choices—because life according to Olive looks a little bit different.
Moving, memorable, and a mirror for anyone at a crossroads, Olive has a little bit of all of us. Told with humor and great warmth, this is a modern tale about the obstacle course of adulthood and the challenges of having—and deciding not to have—children. A must-read for women finding their own way.

Phenomenal
This book was such a pleasure. A coming of age story of a different kind. Captured the different and nuanced experiences of having or not having kids. The characters felt real and avoided so many of the usual clichés. And I ABSOLUTELY loved the reader, she added so much warmth and personality to the characters and the story.
