Everything gets easier in your thirties, right?

Though she has plenty to celebrate - successful career, new home, loving friends and family - for Nina Dean, her thirties have not exactly been the liberating experience she was sold. From fading friendships to exes popping the question, everyone is moving on (or worse, to the suburbs). And as her dad slowly loses his memories, her mum seems dead set on making new ones.

Then she meets Max, who tells her on date one that he's going to marry her. But what seems like an exciting new development will ensure this year is Nina's strangest yet . . .

I found this a strangely disturbing read. Ghosting someone is an intrinsically cruel act and it unsettled me a lot. But, the whole thing was well written and interesting, maybe more as a window on life for 20/30 year olds in 2020s.
