Suffocated by her soul-crushing job and excruciating commute, Kat Wright hatches a brilliant plan: fake a pregnancy to score a year of paid maternity leave.

But Kat's 'simple' lie quickly spirals into a chaotic web of lies involving suspicious colleagues, a rekindled toxic romance, and a borrowed baby.

As her meticulously crafted world implodes, Kat must navigate the increasingly disastrous fall-out of her scheme, leading to consequences she never could have imagined.

If you like your protagonists messy, this one is for you. Kat is witty, cynical, and self-destructive.
