Beschreibung
An irresistable, funny, sharply observed debut novel in which two roommates, and two sisters, will learn that sometimes family-and love-find you in the most unexpected places.

Hazel and Alfie have just moved in together as roommates. They've also just slept together, and are left wondering whether they've just made the most enormous mistake, or the complete opposite. But either way they're determined to keep living together without making it awkward, since neither one can afford to move out of the apartment.

Then Hazel's sister Emily and her wife Afra arrive for a visit, and Hazel and Alfie's feelings about each other are pushed to the side in the whirlwind of Emily and Afra's excitement to start a new life in a new town, and also find the perfect sperm donor who might help them bring a baby into their family.

As Hazel, Alfie, Emily, and Afra's lives collide, all four will learn that sometimes you find family - and love - in the most unexpected of places, in this warm, perceptive, uplifting read.

Zusammenfassung
LOVE STORY HOOK: The charming, awkward, will-they-won't-they relationship between Hazel and Alfie forms the spine of the book and nods toward rom-coms like One Day in December or The Flatshare, but the assured writing and bigger themes elevate this into larger book club fiction territory, for readers of Emma Straub or J Courtney Sullivan or Linda Holmes.

BOOK CLUB FICTION: Though this is a light-hearted read, it also brings up some serious themes that would be perfect fodder for book club discussions, including non-traditional family structures, climate change and the morality of bringing children into a warming world, health anxiety, toxic masculinity, and revenge porn.

UPLIFTING, FUNNY, SMART: A breezy but thoughtful read, this is perfect for the beach!

TRADE ORIGINAL: The paperback format is the perfect fit for this book club- and beach-friendly read, with a price point that will appeal to readers in their 20s and 30s.
