London, 2013: Coralie and Adam meet at a point in their lives where both have more questions than answers. Adam is a political journalist and has a four-year-old daughter named Zora, from whose mother he lives separately. Coralie is new to the city and is trying to gain a foothold as a writer. They quickly realize how much they have in common: they fall head over heels in love with each other. Soon they share apartment and life, eventually starting a family. And then? This novel tells of what happens after the happy ending - the first ten years of a relationship. He tells of being overwhelmed and reconciling, of an everyday life that, in addition to family chaos, is marked by the political crises of that time: constantly changing prime ministers, Brexit and the pandemic. He tells of Coralie's attempt to be a stepmother, mother, writer, employee, sister, friend, daughter and partner at the same time, of the fact that sometimes you have to reinvent yourself in order not to lose yourself. And all this with such warmth, authenticity and empathy that it almost hurts to leave the characters behind after reading it.
