' Written with such humour and heart thatll make you laugh out loud and have a little sob simultaneously ' STYLIST

If you've ever wondered whether you love your dog more than your partner...

Life hasnt gone according to Judys plan. Her career as a childrens book author has taken an embarrassing nose dive. Her teenage son Teddy treats her with a combination of mortification and indifference. Her best friend has enough to deal with. And her husband, Gary, has become a pot-addled snackologist who she cant afford to divorce. On top of it all, she has a painfully ironic job writing articles for a self-help websitea poor fit for someone seemingly incapable of helping herself.

Gleefully irreverent, tender, funny, and uplifting, Separation Anxiety is a contemporary novel that celebrates the squeezed generation; a book filled with heart and humour for anyone fumbling their way towards happiness.
