Maggie, Harvey, Roise and Lydia share a house as students.

A decade later, what has changed?

Lydia has been dead for a year, killed in a road accident. And the others remain in the house, which is falling down around their ears. As indeed they are.

There are an awful lot of unresolved issues as their thirtieth birthdays approach...

Profoundly beautiful and a true reflection of friendship in your twenties. I loved this so much, each one of the girls felt real and raw with their grief and sadness. Lydia herself even felt monumental, despite only existing as a ghost of their past.

The writing was beautiful and subtle in its emotions, one minute I’d be smiling to myself at the humour and the next I was fighting back tears. I found myself thinking of these women even when I wasn’t actively reading. They reminded me so much of my friends and the decisions we’ve all made so far in our twenties, and the decisions we’ve yet to make. This story had a heartbeat and a real sense of love and friendship. I loved reading about these girls.
