Synopsis

She lost her job. Then she found herself. Sort of. At fifty-nine, Henrietta Malone is blindsided when an algorithm replaces her. Overnight the world of performance reviews and all-hands meetings is gone. She leaves the building as Henrietta and re-enters her life as Hexa, landing in a semi-functioning collective where cats supervise, the neighbors keep binders, and soup is practically a love language. This is a satirical novel about starting over late and sideways. Hexa navigates house politics, a tribunal no one asked for, a fig-tree ceremony, market days that almost pay the rent, and friendships that feel suspiciously like family. There are crystals. There are chakras. There is also rent, and a Brenda Sue with a binder. Bills still exist. So do small rituals, slower mornings, and the stubborn possibility of becoming someone truer. Enough, it turns out, is wider than it sounds. For readers who like:Midlife reinvention with humor and heart Found-family chaos under one creaky roof Gentle parody of crystals, chakras, and alignment A neighbor who files her feelings, cats who file nothing Endings that land warm without going saccharine Begin again today. Results not guaranteed. Sage not included.

À propos de l'auteur

Harper Quinnell writes about very human people making very questionable choices, usually with excellent sarcasm and terrible timing. Her stories wander across genres (romantic comedy, paranormal cozy crime, mountain romance, and whatever else refuses to leave her brain), but they all come back to the same things: sharp dialogue, flawed characters, and the uncomfortable hilarity of trying to be a decent human in a chaotic world.When she's not writing, Harper is probably overthinking a single sentence, pretending coffee is a personality trait, or mentally editing conversations that already happened. Her books are for readers who like their emotions real, their humor dry, and their characters just self-aware enough to know they're a bit of a mess.She firmly believes that found family can save you, love can annoy you into growth, and no one is beyond redemption-though some people are definitely on probation.
