Seed
Seed is raw, hilarious and so lifelike I kept forgetting I wasn't reading about real people. I felt every frustration, every high and every low as if these women were my friends. A heartfelt, funny, unforgettable read. I loved it. 1>- Rachael Johns
Four friends, two pregnancies and the mother of all awkward situations...
Hillary and her partner are eager for a baby, their sex life dictated by the automated texts from their fertility agency, MotherWorld.
Her best friend Maggie is a single mother living her best life, enjoying a healthy relationship with her ex, and a healthy appetite on the dating apps.
With her youngest now at school, Shelley is returning to the office, hoping to prove her value at the gold-star advertising agency she works for.
Meanwhile, midwife Virginia has made a career of helping other people have babies, but is suddenly yearning for one of her own. With no partner in sight, she cooks up an unhinged plan...
Hilarious and wise, this new novel from the publishers of Marian Keyes and Dolly Alderton asks the question: how far would you go to get a life?

March 3, 2026I’m struggling to know how to rate this one so I’ll sit on it for a bit.. firstly, the cover design is gorgeous.
I enjoyed some of the characters. I wish they had been developed a bit more. Maybe with fewer characters they would’ve had time to develop further but I see what the author was trying to do by having the different situations. I almost just wish this was longer as some things only touched the surface whereas I think they deserved more page time (is that a thing). I’m going to stop because I struggle with writing negative reviews, especially for a NZ author.
