Incredibly insightful, funny and poignant' Helen Sedgwick 'A warm and ferociously witty story. Truth rings from every page of this assured, engrossing debut' Zoe Strachan When Rhona's story comes to an end you will miss her. Her candid, raw, messy journey will make you laugh, cry and remember. Not a typical break-up book, it's much more profound. Nothing has turned out quite how Rhona imagined: she's been casually swapping one job for another while getting comfy in a long relationship which ends abruptly, and her efforts to adjust to that change are thrown by some unwelcome news... Flawed, relatable Rhona Beech narrates this beautifully written, pacey satire about female friendship, heartbreak, career change, conceiving and illness, which will appeal to fans of Fleabag. Join her on a laugh (and cry) out loud search for meaning amongst the bars, offices and clinics of Glasgow. Will her friendships survive the changes and challenges? Will SHE survive? At once funny and tender, Keep Walking, Rhona Beech is a clear-sighted look at a generation of women that was told they could have it all.

Navigating the online and offline worlds of pairing up, this spiky collection of short stories delves deep, with dark humour, into what it takes to strap on a smile through thirty-something failure and make human connections in the modern age. Gordon knows what Gabby wants but he hates to do what he's told; Chrissy stalks the internet to find what her fiancé wouldn't give her; three friends reunite during a heatwave and their evening gets better and better, until it doesn't... While one woman wonders if passing strangers have a better sex-face than her boyfriend, another's birthday meal goes sour at the offer of no-strings dessert. In these relationship tales, many are burned by their pasts while scanning their horizons.
