The debut novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author, Emma Gannon. “Thoughtful, searching, funny, and (most importantly) honest” Elizabeth Gilbert”Relatable and incredibly real” Louise O`NeillOlive is many things.Independent. Adrift. Anxious. Loyal. Kind. Knows her own mind.It`s ok that she`s still figuring it all out, navigating her world without a compass. But life comes with expectations, there are choices to be made, boxes to tick and – sometimes – stereotypes to fulfil. And when her best friends` lives start to branch away towards marriage and motherhood, leaving the path they`ve always followed together, Olive starts to question her choices – because life according to Olive looks a little bit different.Moving, memorable and a mirror for every woman at a crossroads, `Olive` has a little bit of all of us. Told with great warmth and nostalgia, this is a modern tale about the obstacle course of adulthood, milestone decisions and the `taboo` about choosing not to have children.
