How is it possible for one woman to hold it together when she's:
Confronted with a racing biological clock when she doesn't even know if she wants kids.
Trying to act normal when her heart is smashed into a million pieces.
Ten times smarter than the people she's working for.
Priced out of the housing market in the place she grew up.
Stuck in a situationship when all she wants is the love of her life back . . .
Bigger. Not better. Older. Not wiser. Queenie Jenkins is working on it.
Award-winning author Candice Carty-Williams returns with a scalpel-sharp, poignant and hilarious new book that shines a dazzling light on the realities of modern womanhood.
