Heartbreaking, lifeaffirming, brave and bold Karen Gregorys debut is a completely different kind of love story. Is there anything thats concerning you? Felicity says. College, home, boyfriends? Though shes more or less smiling at this last one.I dont smile. Instead, I feel my face go hot. Silence stretches as wide as an ocean. When I look up, Felicity has this expression on her face like shes just seen Elvis. Slowly, she leans forward and in a gentle voice Ive never heard her use before she says, Have you done a pregnancy test? When Hedda discovers she is pregnant, she doesnt believe she could ever look after a baby. The numbers just dont add up. She is young, and still in the grip of an eating disorder that controls every aspect of how she goes about her daily life. Shes even given her eating disorder a name Nia. But as the days tick by, Hedda comes to a decision she and Nia will call a truce, just until the baby is born. 17 weeks, 119 days, 357 meals. She can do it, if she takes it one day at a time Heartbreaking and hopeful by turns, Karen Gregorys debut novel is a story of love, heartache and human resilience. And how the things that matter most cant be counted. Fans of Lisa Williamson, Sara Barnard and Sarah Crossan will fall in love with Karens writing.
