What to expect
They say the secret to a happy life is having a plan…
Sheena Cairns has a plan: After nearly thirty years of marriage, Sheena is ready for a fresh start - on her own. Unfortunately, an unexpected mid-life crisis may be about to send her back to her past and to the husband she’s trying to leave.
Orla Ferguson has a plan: She’s found her perfect man and now it’s time to start her fairytale family. All she needs to do is get mother nature and her husband on the same page.
Maddie McSway has a plan: She put her life on pause to take care of her mum in her final days. Now she’s young, free and very single, and it’s time to go chase her old dreams - until a one-night stand with an old friend changes everything.
Three women, three shocking twists of fate, and one unavoidable truth: sometimes life is what happens when you’re making other plans.
