Jenny is thirty-nine years old, and she can tell you the orthodontist's phone number by heart, the exact brand of navy folder her son requires, and the precise diplomatic language needed to defuse a thirteen-year-old's friendship drama. What she cannot tell you is the last time she did something just for herself, or what, exactly, she even likes anymore.
So she goes looking. She tries pottery, fitness, a dramatic haircut, cooking, gardening, volunteering, and even dips back into her old marketing career. Every attempt to reclaim herself comes with a cost, and every cost makes her wonder if she's failing the people she loves most-her husband, Dave, and her kids, Mia and Charlie-just by wanting more.
What Jenny slowly, hilariously, imperfectly learns is that she doesn't have to choose between being someone's mother and being an actual person. She just has to stop apologizing for wanting both.
