Overview
For readers of Dolly Alderton or Rufi Thorpe, Martha Wants a Baby is an incisive debut set against the backdrop of a trendy spin studio, where two women are chasing the dream life they think they should want—only to find out that the goalposts never stop moving
She told a lie to get the life she wanted. Now it might cost her the life she has.
Martha has done everything right. She has the dream job at Velora (a sleek cycling empire with a cultlike following), a dependable fiancé, and the perfect house. But one thing still haunts her to-do list: motherhood. Meanwhile, Velora's beloved instructor Georgie seems to have it all—Instagram fame, adoration at work, an already-gorgeous face now glowing from pregnancy—but behind the flawless facade, she’s barely holding it together. When their lives collide, these two women form an unexpected but necessary bond—one that helps Georgie navigate her boss’s subtle bias against mothers and offers Martha a safe place to reveal the secrets that could unravel her perfectly ordered world.
Sharp, witty, and heartfelt, Martha Wants a Baby is a story about ambition, identity, friendship, and the messy ways we try (and sometimes fail) to feel like we’re “enough.”
