Nicki, Lauren, Charlotte and Steffi have been friends since university. Now in their thirties, life is pulling them in different directions - but the girls are reunited when Charlotte organises the baby shower from hell for pregnant Nicki.Tensions are high as these women are forced to confront their own and eachother’s views about motherhood... while also dealing with a fire at the baby shower. February’s Happy Place Book Club novel was So Thrilled for You, by Holly Bourne.In this chat, Fearne and Holly talk about how wildly the pretty Pinterest version of motherhood is from the raw, battlefield of a reality. Holly reckons if we want the world to be a better, happier place we need to be supporting mums emotionally and practically.&nbsp;How have you navigated some friends having babies, some struggling to conceive, and some not wanting them at all? Fearne and Holly explore the judgements, assumptions, and irritations that can arise between old friends when everyone’s lives look so different.&nbsp;Plus, how to cut out the noise and trust your gut when you’re working on a creative project...Thank you to Hodder & Stoughton for the use of So Thrilled For You audiobook, narrated by Emily Spowage, Evie Ward-Drummond, Kelly Hotten, Paul Hezberg and Rosalind Lailey.&nbsp;<a href="https://pod.fo/e/2a9766" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Book Club Meets: David Larbi</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://pod.fo/e/298eb6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Book Club Meets: Dame Harriet Walter</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://pod.fo/e/28c79c" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Book Club Meets: Liane Moriarty</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://pod.fo/e/27b9a0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Book Club Meets: Miranda July&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;<hr> Hosted on Acast.
