Los amigos son esenciales, pero vivir con ellos puede ser complicado. Amy y Jack, la pareja que finalmente se ha reunido, son el centro de un grupo algo desorientado. Mientras se sumergen en los preparativos de su boda, sus amigos se sienten un poco abandonados. Matt, al enterarse de que su inseparable amigo se casará, se encuentra solo y sin compañero de piso. En su búsqueda de apoyo, recuerda a Helen, quien está completamente dedicada a su carrera, pero empieza a sentir el peso del estrés y la presión. Además, tiene que lidiar con Amy, su mejor amiga, que no para de hablar de la boda y del catering que ha contratado a Stringer, conocido por su habilidad para ligar, pero que guarda un secreto que solo Susie, otra amiga de la novia, podrá revelar. Susie ha decidido alejarse de los hombres mientras reflexiona sobre su vida y su futuro en el negocio de sombreros antiguos en Portobello. Al igual que en la obra anterior, los protagonistas comparten sus historias desde sus perspectivas en capítulos alternos. Con un realismo impresionante, los autores ofrecen una versión original y divertida de la llegada a la madurez, esa etapa tan temida y deseada donde comenzamos a ver la vida desde otra perspectiva.

Ella no consigue adivinar sus pensamientos. Él no tiene ni idea de lo que piensa ella. Sólo tú lo sabrás todo sobre AMY «A veces, en mis momentos más bajos, he pensado en presentarme a uno de esos programas de la tele donde te buscan pareja. "¡De Londres, la maravillosa, la fantástica Amy Crosbie!" (Seguido de un delirio de silbidos y aplausos.) Aunque, en realidad, esta fantasía me preocupa un poco, porque sospecho que es la peculiar manera de decirme a mí misma que algo tiene que cambiar. Hace seis meses que no me acuesto con nadie. ¡Seis meses! Pero vamos a ver, tengo piso propio, sólo saco sobresalientes y... ¿dónde está el señor Ideal? Así por lo menos evitaría que mi madre me diera la lata.» JACK «Tengo veintisiete años, estoy soltero y vivo con Matt, mi mejor colega. Andamos juntos desde los ocho años, aunque entonces la vida era más sencilla. Me chiflaba la ropa de poliéster, y de mayor quería ser espía. Un día, cuando Matt me preguntó con quién me iba a casar, le dije que me enamoraría de una chica tan perfecta que ni siquiera podía imaginarme su nombre. Ahora, las cosas son un pelo más complicadas. Sí, es cierto, me enamoré, pero la historia no funcionó. Y además, estar soltero mola cantidad, es mucho más divertido.»

Cancer is not her club. And yet it's running - hot, sweaty, lycra-clad running in the company of brilliant, funny women all going through treatment - that unexpectedly gives Keira the hope she so urgently needs. Because Keira will not be defined by the C-word. And now, with the Cancer Ladies' Running Club cheering her on, she is going to reclaim everything: her family, her identity, and her life.
