Whenever You’re Ready
“Cupcake ipsum dolor sit amet. Danish marshmallow biscuit cookie macaroon muffin. Lollipop jelly beans halvah brownie icing liquorice oat cake caramels donut.”
An unexpected death finds Lizzie, Alice and Margot at various crossroads in their lives, caught between looking back and moving on.
Lizzie is reeling from a decades-old secret that changes everything she thought she knew about her friends, her family and her marriage. Alice has always been the good-time girl, as charismatic presenting the weather on television as she is working as a life model. But decades of piecemeal work have left her with a safety net that is rapidly unravelling. Meanwhile, Lizzie's perfectionist daughter Margot is realising that, despite having built herself a faultlessly curated life, she hasn't put her troubled past behind her as neatly as she thought she had.
