SOON TO BE A NETFLIX ORIGINAL STARRING REESE WITHERSPOON A REESE WITHERSPOON x HELLO SUNSHINE BOOK CLUB PICK '' I found myself laughing out loud at Susan''s prickly character'' Reese Witherspoon THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER | SHORTLISTED FOR THE BEST FIRST NOVEL AWARD | A RICHARD AND JUDY BOOK CLUB PICK People aren''t sure what to make of Susan Green. Family and colleagues find her prickly and hard to understand - but Susan makes perfect sense to herself. Age 45, she thinks her life is perfect. She has a London flat which is ideal for one; a steady job that suits her passion for logic; and a personal arrangement providing cultural and other, more intimate, benefits. Yet suddenly faced with the loss of her mother and, implausibly, with the possibility of becoming a mother herself, Susan''s greatest fear is being realised: she is losing control. And things can only get worse ... at least in Susan''s eyes. This sparkling debut is a breath of fresh air with real heart and a powerful emotional punch. In Susan we find a character as exasperating and delightful as The Rosie Project''s Don Tillman. An uncompromising feminist and a fierce fighter, it''s a joy to watch her bloom.
