"Julia London's writing is heartwarming and true." --Lia Louis, international bestselling author
New York Times bestselling author Julia London returns with a story about forgiveness and second chances.
After forty-two years, Lorna Lott is ready to learn where she's going with her life--even if it means revisiting all the places she wishes she hadn't been.
It'll be fine. Probably. Maybe.
Lorna Lott has been leaning into the awkward side of things most of her life. Her intensity and drive haven't earned her any friends, but at least her sales team is meeting their quotas. Why should she care that they call her King Kong when her promotion to senior vice president is within reach? Or it was--until she made a mistake that even apology donuts couldn't fix.
Now she's been mandated to attend a thirty-day wellness program, and everything is on the line. If she can't get her low-key rage thing under control, stop her eyes from leaking, and figure out how to be more likeable, she won't get a promotion or raise. Which means she won't be able to buy back her grandmother's house and reclaim the happiness she hasn't felt since childhood.
Cooperating with the program means coming to terms with her past. Mainly, how her older sister's substance abuse ruined Lorna's life--and her many regrets about the way she handled things. With the help of her oddly endearing eight-year-old neighbor and his equally charming father, she throws herself into the process of making amends. But as she begins to accept that there is nothing she could have done to change the course of her sister's life, Lorna faces her most challenging task yet: changing the course of her own.
"Funny and heartwarming, [for] readers who enjoy fish-out-of-water stories about people who learn how to connect with others to enrich their lives, like Gail Honeyman's Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and Abbi Waxman's The Bookish Life of Nina Hill." --Booklist
