Eyes in Front When Running

This defiant and unapologetically sardonic debut novel explores the collision between fear and longing.

Eyes in Front When Running is a quick-witted family drama that uses humour to tackle heavy topics, such as the crumbling of a relationship, miscarriage, abortion, infertility, and postpartum depression.

When Cleo Best moves back in with her parents after the collapse of her relationship, a series of bad decisions turn her life upside down, but somehow set it right at the same time.
