Expectation

"Expectation by Anna Hope brings to vivid life that particular tension one feels just before middle age, when it begins to become clear that life won't end up looking exactly the way we thought it would. The female friendships here are ones we'll all recognize, and in seeing myself in each of these women - their good moments and their bad - I felt implicated in their stories, and in this book. It's an outstanding novel."--Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes
