Hasta entonces, se impone la tarea de reunir a sus amigos y familiares para comunicarles la noticia. Sin embargo, esta labor le deparará más de una sorpresa. «Descaradamente cómica# Hemmings encauza con virtuosismo la voz de un desconcertado héroe de mediana edad.» The New Yorker

And despite their differences, Whitney and Lea have a lot in common: both are navigating a tangled web of relationships, past disappointments and future hopes. As things heat up with Will, and her friendship with Whitney deepens, Lea has to decide how much she's willing to change in order to fit into their world. *Booklist
