Katy is 36, has recently been dumped by her dull-yet-deceitful fiance and in a (not-unrelated) moment of madness, abandoned a Solid, Decently Paid Career to pursue her dream of becoming a chef. But, after a year of expensive cookery school and months in Michelin-star kitchens blow-drying edible ferns for free, she finds herself making sandwiches (heritage duck egg and black garlic mayonnaise on sourdough, admittedly, but sandwiches all the same) in a north London cafe and stuck in an ill-advised situationship with a twentysomething who thinks he's his generation's answer to Marco Pierre White. Then, a gorgeous doctor strolls in and orders an espresso. Katy is briefly charmed, until she sees the scruffy mutt at his feet. Katy hates dogs - and Dr Dipesh never goes anywhere without Alan. Can she overlook this major red flag? Will she ever convince her mother she's not having a midlife crisis?
