A heartfelt, laugh-out-loud story about friendship, fresh starts, and the kind of love you never see coming.
People-pleasing Zara Whitmore has spent her entire life keeping everyone else on track-from her free-spirited younger sister to her wild first-grade students-while putting herself last. At thirty-four, all she wants is to start her next chapter with her long-time boyfriend.
Instead, she gets screenshots.
From the woman he's been cheating with.
Heartbroken and furious at the years she's wasted, Zara does what any sensible woman would: spiral spectacularly and turn to her ride-or-die friend group, The Sensational Six. Their solution? Help her make up for all the reckless fun she missed out on in her twenties.
Enter: The Bad Decisions Dress.
Alluring, irresistible, and maybe even a touch magical, the moment Zara slips it on, she feels bold and unstoppable. A scandalous breakup party with hot male strippers? Yes. Spontaneous tattoo? Why not. Over-the-top weekend getaway planned by the friend group's resident stay-at-home-mom who hasn't had a kid-free vacation in two years? Bring it on.
But when a special school project pairs her with the hunky new music teacher, Zara realizes bad decisions aren't the only risks worth taking.
As she rebuilds her life one questionable choice at a time, Zara must decide what's scarier: clinging to the safe, predictable life she knows-or saying yes to the messy, electric present that might be better than anything she imagined.
