People don’t understand how to deal with Susan Green—her family and colleagues find her prickly and difficult to approach. It’s hard for them to understand her. However, Susan knows herself perfectly well, and that is enough for her. She’s sure everything is fine as long as she avoids her younger, not-too-proper brother Edward and lives alone. But an unplanned pregnancy forces Susan to dive into a sea of many small problems—with her man, whom she prefers to see only a couple of times a week; with her brother and his equally reckless friend Rob; with colleagues, friends, and even with the neighbor. It’s hard for Susan to stay the same “prickly” person, because her life is changing so rapidly. But don’t worry—she’ll handle this difficulty. So hold on, everyone around!
