She spent fifteen years building the right life. It took one calendar entry to realize none of it was hers.On an ordinary Tuesday in Chicago, Sofia Reyes finds the appointment her husband never mentioned — the one he'd been keeping every Thursday for months. By noon, she has packed a single bag. By evening, she is on a plane to Rome with no itinerary, no plan, and no idea who she is when she isn't being whom everyone needs her to be.What follows is not an escape. It is a reckoning.Across Rome, Florence, Cinque Terre, and Barcelona, Sofia walks through cities that ask nothing of her — and slowly remembers the woman she set aside somewhere between the wedding and the life that came after. A trattoria owner who looks at her like she is worth being looked at. A widow who teaches her to cook by feel. An architect named Marco who pays the kind of attention she stopped believing she deserved.But the question that follows her across four countries isn't whether she can fall in love again.It's whether she can finally come home to herself.For readers of Carley Fortune, Emily Henry, and Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love — a luminous, deeply felt novel about leaving the life that was almost right, and the courage it takes to want more than approximate.Book One of the Every City Series.
