If you’ve ever wondered whether you love your dog more than your partner…

Life hasn’t gone according to Judy’s plan. Her career as a children’s book author has taken a nose dive. Her teenage son Teddy treats her with a combination of embarrassment and indifference. She has ‘separated’ from her husband, Gary, who is living in the basement as they can’t afford a divorce. And every day she has to write content for an uplifting self-help website while stalking her nemesis online - a creativity-lifestyle-coach guru with a social media following the size of Jupiter. All Judy wants is to not feel invisible. All she wants is to fill that space inside her. And when she decides to declutter the house, she hits on a radical solution…

Gleefully irreverent, tender, funny and uplifting, Separation Anxiety is a book filled with happiness and heart. A novel about the connections we make, the people we love and the joyful messiness of life. ___________________________________________________

Praise for Separation Anxiety

‘What a gem of a novel…It’s laced with moments of self-doubt and marital mayhem, but also the many small daily acts of mercy and heroism that love inspires.’ - Diane Ackerman

‘I enjoyed Separation Anxiety very much… It has a real freshness of voice and though it is very poignant, several parts also made me laugh out loud’ - Laura Barnett, author of The Versions of Us

‘So sweetly funny, so very touching.’ Sainsburys magazine

‘ A novel about stress, release, and the unlikely places we turn to for comfort in uncertain times’ - Vogue
