Kurzbeschreibung: "Julia Londons 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 shes going with her life even if it means revisiting all the places she wishes she hadnt been. Itll be fine. Probably. Maybe. Lorna Lott has been leaning into the awkward side of things most of her life. Her intensity and drive havent 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 couldnt fix. Now shes been mandated to attend a thirty-day wellness program, and everything is on the line. If she cant get her low-key rage thing under control, stop her eyes from leaking, and figure out how to be more likeable, she wont get a promotion or raise. Which means she wont be able to buy back her grandmothers house and reclaim the happiness she hasnt felt since childhood. Cooperating with the program means coming to terms with her past. Mainly, how her older sisters substance abuse ruined Lornas 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 sisters 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 Honeymans Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and Abbi Waxmans The Bookish Life of Nina Hill." Booklist With the included discussion questions, its the perfect book club book!
