Enjoy a steamy best friends to lovers romance from Lynn Dare, author of The Perfect Man. Number 2: Shave everywhere. Everywhere, everywhere? Well sh**. Guess I’m doing this. Hello, it’s me, the perpetually single and focused woman trying to kick ass at my job and not get lost in a guy. Any guy. Much to the dismay of my two best friends. That’s where the second item comes in. We wrote a list. I blame the desert that is my sex life and the drink-wine-straight-from-the-bottle kind of night. It’s a to-do list of sorts. Or, you know, a get laid list. It’s a bit of a joke while I prepare for a blind date, my first date in ages. My friends think I need practice before trying to find someone I can see myself with long-term. But when the only guy who was never supposed to see those dirty things we wrote picks it up, it doesn’t seem so funny anymore. Sebastian has been my best friend since we were kids. Infuriatingly hot in that nerdy techy kind of way, he’s never wanted me. Never looked at me with such need. So, why does his offer of help feel like so much more than charity? My Best Friend's To-Do List is a full-length steamy romantic comedy standalone with plenty of laughs and swoons.

“A riveting journey.” —Julie Metz, author of Perfection “A perfect book. I want to tell everyone, every mother, every daughter, to read it.” —Abigail Thomas, bestselling author of A Three Dog Life For the first time in decades I’m remembering Mom, all of her--the wonderful and terrible things about her that I’ve cast out of my thoughts for so long. I’m still struggling to prevent these memories from erupting from their subterranean depths. Trying to hold back the flood. I can’t, not today. The levees break. Thirty years after her death, Alice Eve Cohen’s mother appears to her, seemingly in the flesh, and continues to do so during the hardest year Alice has had to face: the year her youngest daughter needs a harrowing surgery, her eldest daughter decides to reunite with her birth mother, and Alice herself receives a daunting diagnosis. As it turns out, it’s entirely possible for the people we’ve lost to come back to us when we need them the most. Although letting her mother back into her life is not an easy thing, Alice approaches it with humor, intelligence, and honesty. What she learns is that she must revisit her childhood and allow herself to be a daughter once more in order to take care of her own girls. Understanding and forgiving her mother’s parenting transgressions leads her to accept her own and to realize that she doesn’t have to be perfect to be a good mother. “Alice Eve Cohen’s warm, witty, wise memoir is an elixir of love. It captures the struggles of every woman who ever wanted to be a better mother or daughter.

It’s so rich, so real, and so moving . . . An astonishingly wonderful book—I was enthralled.” —Caroline Leavitt, bestselling author of Pictures of You “Compassionate, compelling, and told in luscious prose that practically begs you to sink in and linger, Cohen’s imaginative story and its fascinating characters will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page.” —Jessie Sholl, author of Dirty Secret
