At Princess's school Nikki and Jason get the opportunity to observe her with brother Tyler. With approval to adopt only one child they know that the siblings will have to be split up, but are excited nevertheless. Unbeknown to them, a family that can adopt both children is under consideration. This is a funny and sweet story about trying to start afresh when your past haunts you, and the realities of being an independent adult. Returning to her home town from London means Jane is forced to adapt to her new circumstances and face her future head on. At an adoption support group picnic, Nikki develops an inferiority complex, alarmed by the fact there are many other couples also vying to adopt children, some more educated and financially better off than her and Jason. Jason makes her realise that the people they need to impress are not their peers or even the social workers, but the kids they hope to adopt.

Hearing Freddy confess to an affair, blaming the stress of family life, makes Jason doubt whether he wants to go through with adoption and take on something that will affect every aspect of the rest of his life. Sensing his cold feet, Nikki is upset when she learns he only agreed to adoption in an effort to make her happy.Unable to conceive naturally and with IVF unlikely to succeed, Camden-dwelling thirty-somethings, Nikki Newman, (a call-centre operative) and Jason Ross, (an English-language teacher) decide to pursue adoption as the solution to filling the child-shaped void in their lives. This is not my usual read but I was intrigued by the blurb on this one. It spoke to me as I’m sure it will others— many of us know the reality of these types of ‘trying’. Trying for a baby is a huge one, but also trying to hold it together, trying to overcome trauma, trying to understand and manage our own minds.

Dealing with anxiety and how it can come to be in a sensitive matter, this book really highlighted those fatalistic intrusive thoughts that are often out of our control but become all-consuming. I think Isy Suttie handles all this really well in her latest novel, Jane is Trying - a warm and funny observation of one woman’s attempt to start over. Jane is supposed to be a successful copywriter on gardening leave, but it's never properly explained why Jane isn't using that money to find a new place. Her trauma in Room 3 was disappointing given how Jane avoided The Arch and made every attempt at ignoring Room 3 after she moved into the Arch. It came across as a weak attempt at trying to explain some of the reasons behind Jane's mental health concerns. Then the last-minute romance with Robbie felt rushed and kind of came out of nowhere, as though the author had run out of ways to keep the book going so she threw in another source of tension.
