The Full Nest

'I absolutely love Fiona Gibson's funny, emotional, relatable writing.’ Jenny Colgan

The brand-new, heartwarmingly hilarious novel from the Sunday Times and Number 1 bestselling queen of romantic comedy, perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Jill Mansell and TikTok sensation Mama's Still Got It.

One family home. Three generations. What could possibly go wrong?

Carly loves her family. She really does. It’s just that now her three children are grown up, she thought it was her time.

Everyone talks about the empty nest and how difficult that can be, but Carly and her husband, Frank, have often fantasised about it – meals without arguments, conversation without shouting over the sound of the Xbox, holidays planned around the culture not the kids’ club.

But Carly’s nest is far from empty. Her elderly dad needs more support and is moving in ‘temporarily’. On top of which, Carly’s son, Eddie, is far too comfortable at home – why go out and get a job, when your parents keep you fed and your clothes laundered? And just when Carly is starting to pull her hair out, Eddie drops a bombshell that changes everything.

Is there room in the nest for one more?
