the grown up to-do list

Her friends are bossing life - is she in danger of being left behind?

27-year-old Cleo is happy enough. She likes her job in the fish and chip shop in the small town where she grew up. But her world has become very small - all her friends couldn’t wait to leave their small, seaside town and are off, apparently crushing life. They have shiny careers and creative side-hustles, while she is still living with her mum and dad.

But when she learns that her childhood boyfriend is coming back to town for a party in three months, she decides she needs to start adulting.

But what does being a grown-up really mean? And can she become one in three months?

A funny, life-affirming romcom perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Beth O’Leary and Mhairi McFarlane
