Sometimes it s easy to fall between the cracks...


At 3.04 p.m. on a hot, sticky day in June, Bess finds out she s pregnant.

She could tell her social worker Henry, but he s useless.
She should tell her foster mother, Lisa, but she won t understand.
She really ought to tell Boy, but she hasn t spoken to him in weeks.
Bess knows more than anyone that love doesn t come without conditions.

But this isn t a love story...

Kirsty Capes works in publishing and, as a care leaver, is an advocate for better representation for care-experienced people in the media. She recently completed her PhD which investigates female-centric care narratives in contemporary fiction, under the supervision of 2019 Booker prize-winner, Bernardine Evaristo. Careless is her first novel.
