Meet Maddie. To her mostly absent mum, she's Maame, the woman of the family. To her dad, she's his carer—even if he hardly recognises her. To her friends, she's the one who still lives at home, who never puts herself first. It's time to become the woman she wants to be. The kind who wears a bright yellow suit, says yes to after-work drinks and flirts with a 30-something banker. Who doesn't have to Google all her life choices. Who demands a seat at the table.

Als sie endlich die Chance bekommt, von zu Hause auszuziehen, ist Maddie fest entschlossen, die Frau zu werden, die sie sein möchte: Eine Frau, die einen knallgelben Anzug trägt, mit Männern ausgeht und sich mutig ihrer Chefin entgegenstellt.
