Akashic Books Read Kindle PreviewITβS JANUARY OF 2020Β and thirty-seven-year-old Layla Moody is trying to worm her way into a party at the Sundance Film Festival. When sheβs not picking up other peopleβs abandoned drinks or skinny-dipping in the hot tub, sheβs trying to gain access to someone who can jump-start her stymied career as a Hollywood television writer. After a run-in with one of her creative heroines, she lands an opportunity to get her show produced. The only catch is, she has to return to New York, which sheβs been avoiding since her fatherβs death.Β But soon all is thwarted when COVID-19 shuts down the entertainment industry and any opportunity to propel her life forward. While quarantining alone in her parentsβ apartment in Queens, she wrestles with the ghost of an ex-boyfriend who disappeared unexpectedly, the grief of processing the loss of her father, and the notion that she just might be the one responsible for her current state of solitude.Β Finally, in spite of warnings and stay-at-home orders, she throws caution to the wind and joins a share house on Fire Island where she spent summers in her twenties. By returning to the house and its eclectic denizens, she is reintroduced to the comfort and annoying tendencies of other people, and begins to grasp how to find family on her own terms.
