What does starting over really mean when the life you knew calls it quits?

Harriet Langley never realized how much of her life revolved around her husband, Alex, until they separated. Now that she’s free to eat what she wants, watch what she likes, and ditch all the emotional heavy-lifting, she’s feeling...oddly liberated. But just as she’s settling into her new routine, Alex drops a bomb: he wants the kids every second weekend—and that’s it. Harriet, now officially the primary parent, can’t decide if she should celebrate or scream into a pillow.

Between co-parenting disasters, Alex’s smug post-separation glow, and his younger sister, Charlie, moving in, Harriet’s so-called fresh start quickly starts to feel like a chaotic juggling act.

As Harriet rediscovers old passions and confronts uncomfortable truths about herself, she begins to rebuild her life—this time on her terms. Charlie, with her endless crop tops and unnerving honesty, somehow becomes both a total pain…and an unexpected lifeline.

With sharp wit and a lot of heart, Harriet in Waiting explores how communication can make or break a relationship, and what happens when one woman decides she’s done playing by the rules. Perfect for fans of Abbi Waxman and Fleishman Is in Trouble. Grab your copy today!
