The debut novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author, Emma Gannon.

'Thoughtful, searching, funny, and (most importantly) honest' Elizabeth Gilbert

'Relatable and incredibly real' Louise O'Neill

'It'll give a voice to countless women' Marian Keyes

'Utterly distinctive' Emma Jane Unsworth

OLIVE is many things.

Independent.

Adrift.

Anxious.

Loyal.

Kind.

Knows her own mind.

It's ok that she's still figuring it all out, navigating her world without a compass. But life comes with expectations, there are choices to be made, boxes to tick and - sometimes - stereotypes to fulfil. And when her best friends' lives start to branch away towards marriage and motherhood, leaving the path they've always followed together, Olive starts to question her choices - because life according to Olive looks a little bit different.

Moving, memorable and a mirror for every woman at a crossroads, OLIVE has a little bit of all of us. Told with great warmth and nostalgia, this is a modern tale about the obstacle course of adulthood, milestone decisions and the 'taboo' about choosing not to have children.
