Blindsided, Lillian takes a leave of absence and moves back to her parents' home in suburban New Jersey. Then she's hit with a piece of shocking news: Her husband wants a divorce. Most nights she is more than happy to come home to her apartment and crawl into her pajamas. Lillian's relationship with her husband is pleasant if no longer exciting. She enjoys her routine as a producer for a talk show in New York City starring showbiz veteran Vi ("short for vibrant") Barbour, a spirited senior. At thirty-eight, Lillian Curtis is content with her life. After earning rave reviews with her rock-and-roll memoir But Enough About Me, Jancee Dunn takes on fiction in this comically poignant debut, a perfect read for anyone who has ever looked back nostalgically and wondered what might have been.
