Description
Kate is not in a meaningful relationship. The last loving bond Kate had was with mother, who died a year ago.
Now Kate dreams of being a parent herself, and pouring all of her love into the tiny bundle of happiness that will her love unconditionally in return. Except without any partner to provide her with sperm, Kate takes matters into her own hands and decides upon a series of random encounters to get what she wants.
No one thinks this is a good idea; not her best friend, or her boss at the bookshop where she works ― not even June, one of her elderly customers. Because what they can see, and what Kate can’t, is that it isn’t a baby that she needs at all ― it’s something else entirely…

Kate is desperate for a baby. She was advised not to have kids too early and as she got older she was told not to leave it too late. Her friends have children, one is even a grandmother! With her mother dead she feels having a baby to care for is the answer to fill the need of having someone to care for. She just needs to find someone. But is it the right thing?
I really enjoyed this book. I did feel sorry for Kate she seemed to struggle with her mental health and her fixation on having a baby without a stable relationship was her main focus. She had some good friends and helped her realise that one night stands were not the answer. It's a beautiful story that a lot of people could relate to. I just wanted to hug her.
