Can’t Wait Wednesday #148: Everything Is Probably Fine by Julia London

Can’t Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the Jill at Breaking the Spine. So let me introduce you my Can’t Wait Wednesday #148 pick.  Click on the book’s cover to add it to your Goodreads shelf (opens in a new window).

From The Publisher:

Lorna Lott has been leaning into the awkward side of things most of her life. Her intensity and drive haven’t earned her any friends, but at least her sales team is meeting their quotas. Why should she care that they call her King Kong when her promotion to senior vice president is within reach? Or it was–until she made a mistake that even apology donuts couldn’t fix.

Now she’s been mandated to attend a thirty-day wellness program, and everything is on the line. If she can’t get her low-key rage thing under control, stop her eyes from leaking, and figure out how to be more likeable, she won’t get a promotion or raise. Which means she won’t be able to buy back her grandmother’s house and reclaim the happiness she hasn’t felt since childhood.

Cooperating with the program means coming to terms with her past. Mainly, how her older sister’s substance abuse ruined Lorna’s life–and her many regrets about the way she handled things. With the help of her oddly endearing eight-year-old neighbor and his equally charming father, she throws herself into the process of making amends. But as she begins to accept that there is nothing she could have done to change the course of her sister’s life, Lorna faces her most challenging task changing the course of her own.

Why I Can’t Wait To Read Everything Is Probably Fine:

I love stories that delve into a character’s transformation, and Lorna’s journey sounds especially compelling. I’m intrigued to see how the eight-year-old neighbour and his father will influence her life.
