Charlie in Progress. A Small Town Women's Fiction Novel (en Inglés) - Rachel Del Grosso

Some women find themselves...Charlie crashes into herself-morning sickness and all.

Charlie Young has always been someone else's something-Alex's younger sister, her parents' afterthought, the fun distraction in a man's life but never the main event. Now she's hoarding a major secret: she's pregnant. By accident. With a man who made her feel safe-until he politely made it clear that fatherhood wasn't in his plans.

Back in her childhood home, wedged between a disapproving mother, an absent father, and the constant reminder that her brother is the family favorite, Charlie has two options: keep pretending she's fine, or have a full-blown identity crisis at the dinner table. (Honestly, it could go either way.)

Between secretly throwing up at work, questioning whether she even wants to be a mom, and finally realizing she's really good at her job, Charlie starts to wonder: has she been waiting for permission to take her own life seriously?

With biting humor and raw honesty, CHARLIE IN PROGRESS is a deep dive into family dysfunction, self-discovery, and what happens when you finally stop playing the supporting role in your own damn life. Perfect for fans of All Adults Here and Fleabag, this is a story about growing up late, letting go of expectations, and finally stepping into the spotlight of your own life.
