Life Skills: A Novel

When a bride-to-be suddenly upends her life, a floating hotel offer the perfectly imperfect escape in this “charming and captivating romantic summer read” (Library Journal).

Julia Fairfax isn’t quite herself today. It’s not like her to quit her job just because she was passed over for a promotion. Or to call off her engagement just because her fiancé is a bore. And it’s certainly not like her to pack her bags, sublet her house, board a rattletrap hotel boat, and pass herself off as a gourmet cook. It’s just not like Julia to be so recklessly—and delightfully—in control. And she’s loving every minute of it . . .

But Julia’s new life soon gets anchored with familiar baggage—like an old boyfriend, a meddling mother, and a spurned fiancé—all bursting with unsolicited advice. Now, Julia’s got a surprise in store for all of them. Somewhere between dry-dock and a bargeful of hot-tempered tourists, between old friends and new lovers, she’s determined to turn a season adrift into the summer of a lifetime . . .
