Olive

Olive is thirty-three, successful, and — after ending a nine-year relationship with a man who wanted children — quietly certain that motherhood is not part of her life. But as her three closest friends drift toward the things she has not chosen (Bea buried in her three kids, Cecily about to give birth, Isla enduring round after round of IVF), Olive begins to wonder what her decision is costing her, and whether the friendships that once anchored her can survive lives that no longer look the same. A warm, honest novel about being childfree by choice, and the female friendships that shape us.
