"Brimming with feeling . . . Tense, tender, and COMPELLING. I loved it." --Emma van Straaten
"A BRILLIANTLY OBSERVED, sharp novel." --Celia Silvani
Martha has done everything right. She has the dream job at Velora (a sleek cycling empire with a cultlike following), a dependable fiancé, and the perfect house. But one thing still haunts her to-do list: motherhood. Meanwhile, Velora's beloved instructor Georgie seems to have it all--Instagram fame, adoration at work, an already-gorgeous face now glowing from pregnancy--but behind the flawless facade, she's barely holding it together. When their lives collide, these two women form an unexpected but necessary bond--one that helps Georgie navigate her boss's subtle bias against mothers and offers Martha a safe place to reveal the secrets that could unravel her perfectly ordered world.
Sharp, witty, and heartfelt, Martha Wants a Baby is a story about ambition, identity, friendship, and the messy ways we try (and sometimes fail) to feel like we're "enough."
