Fall in love with Nina Proudman as she struggles to deal with her fabulously messy family, her explosive ex-husband, the intensity of a job delivering babies, and the hunt for a decent sex life — whilst also handling her tendency to over-think, fantasise, and wonder about life's other little mysteries.
