How to be second best

not applicable

Jessica Dettmann ; read by Michala Banas

Going from one child to two is never easy for a family, but when Emma's husband simultaneously fathers a third child with another woman, things get very tricky, very fast. He leaves Emma for his new family, who soon move in a few doors up the street, which makes for a convenient but lopsided co-parenting arrangement, not to mention some interesting neighbourhood gossip. Three years later, Emma is no longer trying to be the best wife and mother, now she has to be the best ex-wife, and the best part-time parent to her ex's love child, and that's before she even thinks about adding a new man to the mix. Set in an upwardly mobile, ultra-competitive suburb, this funny, biting, charming comedy looks at the roles we play, how we compete, and what happens when we dare to strive for second best
