Evenings and Weekends

Summer in London doesn’t wait. It’s June 2019, and the city is overflowing—parks, beer gardens, and pavements all thrumming with the chaotic joy of being young, alive, and briefly sun-kissed.

Everyone’s out—except Maggie. She’s 30, pregnant, and broke. The future she fought for is slipping through her fingers and the idea of moving back to the town she clawed her way out of feels like defeat. Having a baby with her boyfriend Ed might be the last impulsive choice she ever gets to make.

Ed has his own baggage—namely, a past with Maggie’s best friend, Phil, and a few unspoken dreams he’s too scared to name. He’s clinging to the present, hoping no one notices what he’s left behind.

Phil spends his weekdays hating his office job and his weekends trying to forget it. He’s also quietly falling for his housemate, Keith—who, inconveniently, already has a boyfriend. Love triangles are one thing. Living in one? Complicated.

And then there’s Rosaleen, Phil’s mother. She’s tired of being a supporting character in everyone else’s story. Diagnosed with cancer, she’s coming to London to break the news to her son—if he ever picks up the phone.
