Lola Isn't Home Right Now

In the tradition of Rebecca Serle and Emma Straub, an almost-forty mom on the brink of a midlife crisis wishes she’d chosen a different life and wakes up after a magical cab ride to discover her wish has come true.

Its the week before Lola Coopers fortieth birthday, and shes missing her best friend Rachel more than ever. Rachel died years ago, and Lola doesnt know who she is anymore. Shes so busy juggling the demands of three kids, a sweet but oblivious husband, and a teetering, half-finished house renovation that she doesnt have time for herself. When she attends a dinner party with friends who all seem to have found success in ways she hasnt, she finds herself asking the universe the age-old question: What if? What if shed never become a wife and mother? What if shed followed the Other Path?

When Lola wakes up the next morning with a confused hangover after a blurry cab ride home, she discovers that her question has been answered and she has been inexplicably delivered into a Glimpse of another life, which is full of career success, a beautiful home, and total freedom—no husband or kids in sight. Most miraculous of all? In this world, Rachel is still alive.

For fans of Rebecca Serles In Five Years andEmma Straubs This Time Tomorrow, Lola Isnt Home Right Now explores the crossroads between fate and choice, and how, only by letting go of what isnt, we can finally embrace what is.
