From bestselling authors Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus
comes a timely novel about a forty-something wife and mother
thrust back into the workforce, where she finds herself at
the mercy of a boss half her age.
Rory McGovern is entering the ostensible prime of her life
when her husband, Blake, loses his dream job and announces
he feels like “taking a break” from being a husband and
father. Rory was already spread thin and now, without
warning, she is single-parenting two kids, juggling their
science projects, flu season, and pajama days, while coming
to terms with her disintegrating marriage. And without
Blake, her only hope is to accept a full-time position
working for two full-time twenty-somethings.
A day out of b-school, these girls think they know it all
and have been given the millions from venture capitalists to
back up their delusion—that the future of digital media is a
high-end “lifestyle” site—for kids! (Not that anyone who
works there has any, or knows the first thing about actual
children.) Can Rory learn to decipher her bosses’ lingo,
texts that read like license plates, and arbitrary mandates?
And is there any hope of saving her marriage? With her
family hanging by a thread, Rory must adapt to this
hyper-digitized, over-glamorized, narcissistic world of
millennials…whatever it takes.
