A refreshing contemporary romance about dating after divorce and the ludicrous turns life can take, from barely holding it together to a one-night stand and a love triangle . . . with your ex?

Jules Kessler has been divorced for two years, raising her daughters on her own, when her midlife-crisis-addled ex-husband, Jason, announces he’s engaged to a thirty-year-old content creator. Everyone around Jules is moving forward, so why does she feel so stuck?
