Writers & Lovers

When Casey arrives in Massachusetts carrying grief, debt, and a half-finished novel she's been writing for six years, she's running on little more than sheer stubborn determination to make it as a writer. Blindsided by loss and still reeling from a recent heartbreak, this thirty-one-year-old former golf prodigy juggles waitressing shifts and a moldy garage room while watching her old friends move into the conventional lives she's resisted. Everything shifts when she falls for two very different men at the same time, forcing her to grapple with impossible choices about what she's willing to sacrifice for love and art. Lily King captures the bittersweet terror and exhilaration of standing at the threshold between youth and adulthood with such warmth and wit that you'll feel Casey's struggle in your bones.
