I’m immediately suspicious about short-term relationships where one partner is pushing the other to move in together and have a baby. It started well, with a happy (albeit fast-moving) relationship between Marisa and Jake. I had no idea that she wrote fiction as well, but was pleasantly surprised with Magpie. I later discovered that the author was the same Elizabeth Day who wrote Failosophy – a book I really enjoyed. I chose this book because of the synopsis. When he asks her to move in with him and they start trying for a baby, she knows she has finally found the steadfast love and support she has been looking for all her life.īut their relationship is tested when they take in a lodger, Kate, who has little regard for personal boundaries and seems to take an uncomfortable interest in Jake – as well as the baby they are hoping to have. Marisa may have only known Jake a few months, but she has never felt this certain about anyone.
