Someday Daughter by Ellen O'Clover

Disappointing parents, crossed wires and being misunderstood.

Parents are a pain in the arse, aren’t they? Especially if they are famous and uninterested in you, yet expect you to show up when it’s convenient for them.

Audrey can’t stand her mother - a totally infuriating ex-psychotherapist. She's touring the world this summer for her self-help book ‘Someday Daughter’, giving motivational speeches and leading meditation classes. Audrey has plans too, and it's not joining a book tour - it's a medical internship.

But inevitably, Audrey goes, her mother sweetening the deal by hiring a celebrated doctor to introduce Audrey to various medical departments during their tour. That relationship turns out to be rather complicated. Her mother is also supporting three interns on the tour, one of whom keeps looking at Audrey with a degree of pity and pain that Audrey dislikes. Grappling with a long-distance relationship that’s falling apart and the absolute hell of being the media face of the ‘Someday Daughter’ the summer is fraught with difficulty.
