Humour

Milly Dayton became a widow at 26. Two years later, she's got the whole thing down: · Go on the occasional date but bring your engagement ring so you can whip it out for a quick getaway · Steal brunch photos for social media posts so your friends know you're fine · Keep messaging your late husband on Facebook - you're not crazy if you don't believe he'll message you back Milly isn't okay but she looks it online. But everyone lies about their lives on Instagram, don't they?

-Employed (you have frequent nightmares about your job) - Single and fabulous (swiping Tinder in your pyjamas while your best friend shops for engagement rings) - Thriving (surviving) Ivy and Mia have been best friends since the fun, messy, hungover years of their twenties. Ten years later, Mia has it all - the man, the house, the career. Ivy is skint, single, and scared that she isn't a 'hot mess' any more - she's a walking disaster .

Adult life is hard. Send help. Ivy Edwards is thirty-one years old, funny, shameless, and a bit of a romantic. She's also currently trying not to cry in the office toilet. Partly because she's just run out of money for fags. A bit because her mum continues to annoy her. Definitely not because she's just been dumped by her fiance. With her London life in shambles and her family miles away in the Welsh valleys, Ivy doesn't actually feel like she belongs anywhere. At least, she has her friends - and a bottle of vodka.
