Challenge Corner discussion

The USA Today bestselling author of When We Believed in Mermaids returns with a tale of two generations of women reconciling family secrets and past regrets.

Life’s beautiful for seventysomething influencer Gloria Rose, in her Upper West Side loft with rooftop garden and scores of Instagram followers—until she gets word that her old flame has been arrested for art theft and forgery, and, knowing her own involvement in his misdeeds decades earlier, decides to flee. But that plan is complicated when the nieces she raised are thrown into crises of their own.

Willow, overshadowed by her notorious singer-songwriter mother, has come home to lick her wounds on the heels of a failed album and yet another disastrous relationship. Sam, prickly and fiercely independent, is on the verge of losing not only her beloved video game company but the man she loves, thanks to her inability to keep her always-simmering anger in check.

With the FBI closing in, Willow’s career in shambles, and Sam’s tribulations reaching a peak, each of the three woman will have to reckon with and reconcile their interwoven traumas, past loves, and the looming consequences that could either destroy their futures or bring them closer than ever.

RESTARTING AUGUST 15TH, 2021

I'm reading a book for GOTM for the Mythology Challenge and then I'm going to start this one but might read it over 2-3 days because I'm also reading a couple other books I want to finish.

Well, my partner has been sick but I need to go ahead and start this and let her catch up.

Through Ch. 12

(view spoiler)[I love that Gloria is an older, 74 year old woman and she's so lively and spry. I can't imagine doing something in your youth that might come back to bite you in the butt that late in life, so I'm curious to see what happens to her and Isaak.

Willow - can't help but to feel for her, but music is a hard industry to break into so I hope she keeps her dream alive.

Sam - I have never been the entrepreneurial type but I can imagine what it would feel like to lose something you've worked for, for twenty years. I hope she's able to revive it. (hide spoiler)]

I hope you like this one!!

Thank you, Trisha! So far I really like it. The MC Gloria is just a wee bit older than I am. Lol
