Making Lemonade

Ever wondered what happens when Parnell Good Time Girls get pregnant? Julia de Souza has the perfect Parnell life - lovely job, lovely friends, lovely apartment and lovely new husband. The next ten years are all mapped out leading all the way to the four-bedroom villa in a leafy suburb with a big backyard for the kids. But when lovely husband Gus is caught in bed with his best friend Ed (as in Edward, not Edwina) Jools finds herself suddenly single with a gay ex-husband. Things rapidly go from bad to worse and before you can wait for the blue line on the pregnancy test to come into focus Jools is unemployed, up the duff - and not at all sure who the father is. Is it her charming but treacherous ex-boss, her bisexual ex husband or the foxy one night stand from the drunken night at the Irish pub? If only she could remember his name...But for every ten bad turns there's a good one and this funny, poignant story of a life-changing year in life of Jools and her three best mates signals the return of Kate Langdon from her own experience of first time motherhood and watch out, she's feistier and funnier than ever.
