Zibby's Bookshop is thrilled to host Ali Rosen as she celebrates the launch of her novel, ALTERNATE ENDINGS. Ali will be joined in conversation by Maureen Lee Lenker!
About the book:
From the author of Recipe for Second Chances comes a smart, sexy, heartfelt romance about a single mother juggling homelife and career who finds unexpected complications while in Ireland for work.
Beatrice Leal's personal life is complicated between her divorce and her precocious six-year-old. But the job she loves is the one thing she counts on to be straightforward--that is, until her boss's own divorce prompts a move from NYC back to Ireland.
Now Bea's in Ireland twice a month for work. It's wreaking havoc on the custody agreement she and her moody ex are sorting out while he lives downstairs in the brownstone they co-own. And to top it off, her company's new CTO turns out to be the boy who once broke her heart: Jack Sander.
It's been twenty years since Bea and Jack saw each other. Their lives are both messy. So when they hook up one night in Ireland, they plan to just keep it a work fling that stays there. But the more time they spend together, the more Bea wonders if happiness might not always mean needing to have your life in order.
