"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in the wreckage? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping, and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that leaves her at a loss. As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system -- can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

Valerie is about to discover that the woman holding her life together is the only mystery she can't solve-and the only one who can melt the stone around her heart.

˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀ A new workplace meant a reset. A new desk. A new email address. New faces. No attachments. No expectations. No mistakes. Lilah promised herself that this time, she would not be fooled by bright smiles or gentle persistence. She would not mistake kindness for permanence. She would not let anyone close enough to see the cracks. And if someone tried? She would make sure they regretted it. She didn't know yet that sometimes the brightest smiles hide bruises. She didn't know that the next person to knock on her office door would carry a paper bag with a warm croissant inside. She didn't know that loneliness, when it meets its reflection, doesn't always retreat. Sometimes- It reaches back. ˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀
