A Lifetime in 30 Days

When a woman embarks on the next phase of her life, it’s all she can do not to break under pressure in a smart, cheeky, and bighearted novel about moving on by the author of The After Party.Savannah Carlson has one month before she hits the big four-oh. With her best friends, Jamaica and Ronni, she’s making every weekend toward that milestone count—party-wise. Vanna’s plans go awry when her shady, no-good, unreliable, estranged husband, Caleb, dies in a boating accident. The real sucker punch lands when Vanna is arrested for embezzlement at his funeral. Her man certainly is the gift that keeps on giving.Talk about mixed emotions. Grief over good years wasted with the wrong man. Rage at her vindictive mother-in-law. Fear of that unjust felony hanging over her head. And even some bliss given her long-simmering attraction to an old acquaintance that’s coming to a sweet boil. Amid the chaos, Vanna refuses to spiral. She has her faith, her cheerleading, gun-toting Granny, and her besties to help her through the most trying times of her life.Freakin’ forty and still fly? Vanna has to believe in that now more than ever.
