At thirty-three, Nellie Reyna's therapist tells her she’s having a midlife crisis. So Nellie decides to quit her high-paying, high-pressure corporate job at an advertising agency in New York and move to Palisades Beach, California and open a bookstore by the beach—a dream she’s had since she was little. Within hours of moving into her new house, she meets Lizianne, a housewife who has her therapist on speed dial; Bella, a thirty-something woman who likes younger men; and Kristine, a twenty-five-year-old virgin. They take Nellie under their wing and show her that just because they live in a small town doesn’t mean they live a small-town life. They introduce her to Collin, a restaurant owner and PI, who steals Nellie’s heart as he entices her to break the law. But it's Amy Fields, the fifteen-year-old pregnant girl next door who really turns Nellie’s world upside down. Amy decides to run away within hours of having her baby…and the only thing she brings with her is a bottle of whiskey and a pack of cigarettes. Nellie is just starting her life over and mending her broken relationship with her sister, but she never imagined she would do it while the women of Palisades Beach take her on the journey of her life.
