On The Mend - A Novel

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?

Then there’s Ben, who makes Jules feel like herself for the first time in years. If only she’d get out of her own way…
