Celia Stone is a control freak. Her life is totally organised not just by to-do lists but also an analysis of pros and cons for her decisions which she keeps in her diary. This organisation is directed not just for her own actions but for the life of her husband, Jes. Her life is managed to minute detail - the amount and type of food eaten, amount of exercise undertaken, meditation, visits made to family members, money spent on various items, type of fabric used in clothes, aversion to anything that might harm the environment ...
Celia works full time and has just completed her first first book which is about to be published. Life is looking good. Then, when Celia is about to turn 34, Jes suggests that they should consider having a baby. This plan is not on her schedule.
Following Celia's journey, this novel looks at issues such as handling grief, mental health, body image and healthy eating as Celia struggles to recognise what she really values in her life.
