From bestselling author and TikTok sensation Kristan Higgins comes a funny and surprising new
novel about losing it all - and getting back more than you ever expected. Lillie Silva knew
life as an empty nester would be hard after her only child left for college but when her
husband abruptly dumps her for another woman just as her son leaves her world comes crashing
down. Besides the fact that this announcement is a complete surprise (to say the least) what
shocks Lillie most is that she isn't heartbroken. She's furious. Lillie has loved her life on
Cape Cod but as a mother wife and nurse-midwife she's used to caring for other people . . .
not taking care of herself. Now alone for the first time in her life she finds herself going
a little rogue. Is it over the top to crash her ex-husband's wedding dressed like the angel of
death? Sure! Should she release a skunk into his perfect new home? Probably not! But it beats
staying home and moping. She finds an unexpected ally in her glamorous sister with whom she's
had a tense relationship all these years. And an unexpected babysitter in of all people Ben
Hallowell the driver in a car accident that nearly killed Lillie twenty years ago. And then
there's Ophelia her ex-husband's oddly lost niece who could really use a friend. It's the end
of Lillie's life as she knew it. But sometimes the perfect next chapter surprises you . . . out
of the clear blue sky.
