Description
An ambitious young writer arrives in a close-knit coastal community and quickly becomes part of its inner circle—until her charm begins to blur into something more complicated. As late-night parties and early-morning routines with small children pull her deeper into the town’s rhythms, she finds herself navigating shifting loyalties, private resentments, and the uneasy question of what it means to “borrow” other people’s lives. Told with sharp wit and a keen eye for local color, the novel explores class assumptions, creative ethics, and the emotional fallout of reinvention. With Jenny Jackson’s signature blend of humor, heart, and multi-perspective insight, this is a frothy yet incisive story about belonging, power, and the stories we tell ourselves—and others—when the truth comes due.
