Mairéad is single, child-free and head of a successful influencer talent agency. The young people at work may be mean to her, she hasn’t seen her only sister for nine years and she’s one bad date away from giving up on men completely – but other than that, she’s got life sorted.

Until Sunshine shows up. When her militant, off-grid sister has a mysterious accident, Mairéad’s inscrutable niece comes to stay, turning life upside down. It’s just for a couple of weeks – surely Mairéad can manage that?

But Sunshine makes her look at every single aspect of her life with different eyes. And Mairéad’s afraid nothing will be the same again.

'Walker offers smart, peppy humour and good comic characters who power her tale along with brio' The Times
