A literary agent’s attempt to find her voice backfires spectacularly in this heartfelt novel of forgiveness, authenticity, and second chances by the bestselling author of This Is Not How It Ends.

Just let it all out.

Literary agent Lily Hersh follows her brother’s advice to draft unfiltered emails to the people in her life: an exhaustingly entitled debut novelist; Lily’s well-meaning, but predictable, boyfriend; a savage book reviewer; an emotionally distant mother; the reckless driver who upended her best friend’s world; and the man she has never forgotten.

There was only one rule: Don’t hit send. But accidents happen.

Overnight, Lily’s brutal honesty lands in the recipients’ inboxes, jeopardizing her career, relationships, and reputation. Escaping to Brooklyn to manage the fallout, Lily must confront hard truths, as well as the return of the man she loved and lost. She feels shaken…but, strangely, also a little bit liberated. And maybe, just maybe, justified in everything she dared to say. But nothing prepares her for the unexpected ways in which her words ripple through everyone they touch.

Navigating public humiliation and private reckonings, Lily must choose between security and rekindled passion, silence and truth, and the life she’s built versus the one she’s meant to have.
