An emotional and heart-warming novel from the bestselling author of TikTok sensation Pack up the Moon.
A kid walks into your bookstore and... guess what? He's your son. The one you put up for adoption eighteen years ago. The one you never told anyone about. Surprise!
And a huge surprise it is.
It's a huge surprise to his adoptive mother, Monica, who thought she had a close relationship with Matthew, her nearly adult son. Until he secretly arranged a vacation to Cape Cod so he could meet his birth mother... without a word to her.
It's also a surprise to Harlow, the woman who secretly placed him for adoption so many years ago. She has built a quiet life, running a bookstore with her grandfather, and is happily single... though she can't help gravitating toward Grady Byrne, an old friend who has moved back to town, three-year-old daughter in tow, and no wife in the picture.
When Matthew walks into Harlow's store, she faints. Monica panics. And all their assumptions about what being a parent really means explode...
This summer will be full of more surprises as both their families are redefined...and as both women learn that for them, there's no limit to a mother's love.
Bestselling author and TikTok sensation Kristan Higgins is beloved
for her heartfelt novels filled with humor and wisdom. Now, she
tackles an issue every woman deals with: body image and
self-acceptance. Emerson, Georgia, and Marley have been best
friends ever since they met at a weight-loss camp as teens. When
Emerson tragically passes away, she leaves one final wish for her
best friends: to conquer the fears they still carry as adults. For
each of them, that means something different. For Marley, it's
coming to terms with the survivor's guilt she's carried around
since her twin sister's death, which has left her blind to the real
chance for romance in her life. For Georgia, it's about learning to
stop trying to live up to her mother's and brother's ridiculous
standards, and learning to accept the love her ex-husband has tried
to give her. But as Marley and Georgia grow stronger, the real
meaning of Emerson's dying wish becomes truly clear: more than
anything, she wanted her friends to love themselves. A novel of
compassion and insight, Good Luck With That tells the story of two
women who learn to embrace themselves just the way they are.
From bestselling author and TikTok sensation Kristan Higgins comes
a novel examining a family at the breaking point--in all its messy,
difficult, wonderful complexity. The Frosts are a typical American
family. Barb and John, married almost fifty years, are testy and
bored with each other... who could blame them after all this time?
At least they have their daughters-- Barb's favorite, the perfect,
brilliant Juliet; and John's darling, the free-spirited Sadie. The
girls themselves couldn't be more different, but at least they got
along, more or less. It was fine. It was enough. Until the day John
had a stroke, and their house of cards came tumbling down. Now
Sadie has to put her career as a teacher and struggling artist in
New York on hold to come back and care for her beloved dad - and
face the love of her life, whose heart she broke, and who broke
hers. Now Juliet has to wonder if people will notice that despite
her perfect career as a successful architect, her perfect marriage
to a charming Brit, and her two perfect daughters, she's spending
an increasing amount of time in the closet having panic attacks.
And now Barb and John will finally have to face what's been going
on in their marriage all along.
From bestselling author and TikTok sensation Kristan Higgins comes
a funny and surprising new novel about losing it all - and getting
back more than you ever expected. Lillie Silva knew life as an
empty nester would be hard after her only child left for college,
but when her husband abruptly dumps her for another woman just as
her son leaves, her world comes crashing down. Besides the fact
that this announcement is a complete surprise (to say the least),
what shocks Lillie most is that she isn't heartbroken. She's
furious. Lillie has loved her life on Cape Cod, but as a mother,
wife, and nurse-midwife, she's used to caring for other people . .
. not taking care of herself. Now, alone for the first time in her
life, she finds herself going a little rogue. Is it over the top to
crash her ex-husband's wedding dressed like the angel of death?
Sure! Should she release a skunk into his perfect new home?
Probably not! But it beats staying home and moping. She finds an
unexpected ally in her glamorous sister, with whom she's had a
tense relationship all these years. And an unexpected babysitter
in, of all people, Ben Hallowell, the driver in a car accident that
nearly killed Lillie twenty years ago. And then there's Ophelia,
her ex-husband's oddly lost niece, who could really use a friend.
It's the end of Lillie's life as she knew it. But sometimes the
perfect next chapter surprises you . . . out of the clear blue sky.
'A heart-wrenching page-turner told with warmth and humor' People

woman came from wealthy New England stock, but that didn't protect

followed by the premature death of her husband. Genevieve rose from
those ashes of grief and built a fashion empire that was respected
the world over, even when it meant neglecting her other son. When
Emma's own mother died, her father abandoned her on his mother's
doorstep. Genevieve took Emma in and reluctantly raised her - until
Emma got pregnant her senior year of high school. Genevieve kicked
her out with nothing but the clothes on her back. Now Emma has
built a wonderful life for herself and her teenage daughter, Riley.
So what is she to do when Genevieve does the one thing Emma never
expected of her and, after not speaking to her for nearly two
decades, calls and asks for help?
