Omschrijving

Fran feels lost. One minute she was young and fun with the world at her feet. Now she has a favorite saucepan and a phone full of reminders about World Book Day costumes and PTA meetings. Thank goodness she can escape to her 9-5 job for a slice of normality while her husband Steve is on paternity leave looking after their youngest.

Except the universe has other ideas, and on the day, Fran thinks she is about to be promoted, she is made redundant instead. She knows she should go home and tell Steve - and she plans on telling him soon, she really does . . . she just needs a chance to gather her thoughts.

Before she knows it, Fran has started living a second life during her 'work' day where she isn't defined by being someone's mum or wife and instead is just Fran. She's looking for jobs but she's also on top of lunchboxes and football kit washing and she's finally getting round to those World Book Day costumes.

But as more time passes and she makes new friends, the threat of her two worlds colliding (and her lie unravelling) starts to close in.

When you're spinning a thousand plates, it won't be long before they start to drop . . .
