In this sharply funny solo debut, an aspiring lawyer is forced to work alongside the opposing counsel in her best friendβs divorce case, which leads to the biggest irreconcilable difference of all: love.
Beatrice Nilsson has a lot to be angry about. The wage gap, the pink tax, the repayment schedule on all those student loansβ¦the list goes on. But that anger is also what makes her such a good friendβthe perennial sidekick who fights for her loved onesβ happily ever after, even while conveniently neglecting her own. So when the marriage of her two best friends falls apartβand the divorce proceedings get uglyβBea is ready to step in and help pick up the pieces.
First on her to-do list? Storm the office of Nathan Asher, her friendβs ex-husbandβs lawyer, and tell him exactly what he can do with his divorce petition. But what should end with a few choice words and a slam of the door soon spirals into uncharted territory when Nathan shows up at her NYU Law office a few days later. As a newly-minted adjunct professorββand her new colleagueββhe proves to be annoyingly intelligent, relentlessly patient, and unfairly attractive. Bea still hates him, of course, but itβs not long before that hate begins to feel a lot like something else.
Thereβs just one issue: when youβve spent your life focusing on everyone elseβs love story, itβs not easy to take the starring role in your own. And as uncomfortable truths emerge about the divorce that started it all, Bea must choose whose happily ever after to protect: everyone elseβs or her own.
