Harriet Langley spent fifteen years waiting for her life to begin. She just didn't expect it to start with a separation, a smug ex-husband, and his little sister showing up at her door.
Settling into La Jolla's salt air and a king-sized bed she finally owns, Harriet is cautiously optimistic-until her husband, Alex, announces he wants the kids every second weekend-and that's it. Suddenly, she's not the carefree woman she imagined, but a full-time parent, the primary everything, while Alex develops an infuriating post-separation glow. And then there's his younger sister, Charlie: crop tops, zero filter, endless opinions, and absolutely no plans to leave.
Rebuilding a life is hard enough without someone watching. But Charlie sees Harriet in ways she's spent years carefully avoiding seeing herself, which might be the most inconvenient part of starting over.
Sharp, funny, and unexpectedly moving, Harriet in Waiting is for anyone who's ever wondered if it's too late to become who they were always supposed to be. Perfect for fans of Abbi Waxman and Fleishman Is in Trouble.
A gifted and natural storyteller. -Camille Pagán, bestselling author of Dog Person.
Harriet in Waiting is book one in the Lost and Found Series set in the small coastal city of La Jolla, California, and can be read as a standalone. The author recommends reading the Lost and Found series in chronological order to avoid spoilers.
