Well, This Is Awkward

'Superb. Brilliant. I adored it... Esther Walker is smart and so funny. Super smart on marriage, ambition, parenting (and all the different forms it takes). I read it in a day, laughed out loud louds, and instantly thought of my friends who'd love it just as much as me' Georgia Toffolo

'Warm and funny, what a joy!' Jessica Stanley, author of Consider Yourself Kissed

‘A funny, clever, sparkling voice’ Kate Weinberg, author of There’s Nothing Wrong With Her

‘Full of awesome observations of modern intergenerational manners and mores’ Kate Spicer, author of Lost Dog

'This is a fabulous debut, a touching story but crammed with Esther’s humour' Alexander Armstrong

'Witty, sharp, brilliant. I DEVOURED this. An outstanding debut!' Imogen Edwards-Jones, Have You Got Anything Stronger?

‘A treasure of a novel: warm, witty and deeply human’ Celia Walden, author of Payday

'A very funny and sharpy-observed book that also manages to be moving. Sunny will stick with me for a long time' Sophia Money-Coutts, author of The Plus One

'Oh, I love Esther Walker. Sharp and funny and full of quirk and heart, WTIA is a gorgeous book about the many paths to parenthood, and all the many ways there are to love' Francesca Segal

'Walker offers smart, peppy humour and good comic characters who power her tale along with brio' Siobhan Murphy, The Times

'Warm and well-observed' Grazia

‘I adored this lovely debut about an off-grid child and her sophisticated urban aunt… Partly a touching comedy about opposites, this is also a satire about selfish parents. Lenny and Mairead’s ghastly mother Helen is one of the many masterful caricatures in this beautifully written book’ Wendy Holden, Daily Mail

'It's a page-turner, silly yet serious; and, as with many good comedies, the humour comes from the pain'. The Spectator
