Living apart, parenting together. What could possibly go wrong? A refreshing, laugh-out-loud midlife rom-com in reverse, perfect for fans of Bridget Jones and Outnumbered. Joanie Mitchell’s life is unravelling. Her marriage is on the rocks, her husband Tom is sleeping on his brother's sofa, her eldest child has just left for university, and her job is about to be made redundant. In a desperate bid to save their family unit, Joanie and Tom agree to try ‘nesting’. The rules are simple: they will take turns living in the family home with the kids, completely avoiding each other. But what sounds like the perfect modern solution quickly turns into a domestic nightmare. Between passive-aggressive squabbles over toilet roll, runaway children, and the supreme awkwardness of walking in on your ex with someone new, the boundaries of their shared space begin to blur. As the chaos escalates, Joanie is forced to confront her abandoned career dreams and her own role in the marriage's breakdown. Can she learn to embrace life’s messy complexities, or will the debris of her old life crash in for good?
