Comedian Isy Suttie has a new novel coming out in July, entitled Jane Is Trying.

Jane is trying.

She's been trying for a baby, with increasing desperation as her thirties sail by. 

Now, she's trying to make a new start back home with her overprotective, charades-obsessed parents - having left her career and cheating fiancé behind in London.  

All whilst trying to convince herself she didn't leave the front door unlocked, or the gas on. (Jane's not anxious. Not really. Not like in an OCD way. Maybe.) With a flimsy job, unlikely friends, and a growing list of worries, can Jane conquer her demons and step forward on her own?
