'This debut novel about womanhood and expectations will be one of the most exciting of the year' INDEPENDENT, the best fiction books to read in 2024

'A young woman's life, told through the men she has dated. With glorious attention to detail and emotional fluency, Dunn charts the ways in which we are built and broken by love' PANDORA SYKES

***

An irresistible and achingly relatable debut novel for anyone who has ever had to let go of what they thought their life would look like and open themselves up to the dizzying possibilities of chance.

Elliot. Joe. Tommy. Nathanael. Wren. Oliver. Malik. Zach. Frank. Patrick. Noah. These are the men Margot has loved, liked, lusted over.

Since she was seventeen, shes pictured them like stepping stones each one bringing her closer to finding someone to share her life with and, eventually, father the children shes always imagined in her future.

From her first sexual encounter, to her first love, from grown-up dilemmas to spontaneous thrills, shes soaked up every experience available to her, discovering friendship, joy and despair. Through all of this shes refined her search until she believes shes arrived at the ending to her story.

So how did she find herself here, single at thirty-four, and about to make the biggest decision of her life?
