As mom to two ungrateful, almost-grown children and wife to one appreciative-but-needy husband, 46-year-old Jess has all but abandoned the extraordinary — and extraordinarily fun — woman she used to be. She may be smiling while she volunteers at the school's dog wash fundraiser, but inside, she's seething with perimenopausal rage.Having scored in the top five percent on her LSAT before family changed everything, Jess decides it's time to go back and finish what she started. She lands a job as assistant to a hopelessly disorganized Seattle lawyer, signs up for night classes, and starts clawing her way toward the life she was supposed to have.But somewhere between the night classes and the chaos of her boss's filing system, Jess makes a discovery she didn't see coming. The dream she's been mourning for twenty years? It doesn't fit anymore. And what she finds instead — in the most unexpected of places — turns out to be exactly what she was looking for.For every woman who dog-eared Are You There God, It's Me Margaret as a girl and is still waiting for someone to write the perimenopause sequel.Genre: Women's Fiction · Family Dramedy · Domestic Life FictionTone: Funny · Laugh-out-loud moments · Honest · Uplifting · Emotionally satisfying endingThemes: Self-discovery · Perimenopause · Female entrepreneurship · Marriage · Identity · Domestic lifeSetting: Seattle, WashingtonContent Notes: No explicit content · Family conflict · Career sacrifice and reclamationFor Fans Of: Gail Honeyman (Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine) · Marian KeyesPerfect For: Book clubs · Women 40–55 · Fans of funny, honest women's fiction · Readers who loved Are You There God, It's Me Margaret as girls

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.
