The comedian and star of Peep Show has realised that all her mates are growing up without her.
The invisible deal that Isy had made – to prolong growing up for as long as possible – has all been in her head.

When a friend advises Isy that the next guy she meets will be not just The One, but The Actual One, Isy decides to delay the onset of adulthood for just a bit longer.
Featuring stories, songs and readings from the new book of the same name.
