Mona is living the dream…until, at thirty-eight, her busy stay-at-home-mom life is upended. Her grandmother moves into assisted living, her teenager, Grace, doesn’t need her anymore, her charity work kicks her to the curb, and none of her friends are showing up for her. Suddenly, Mona has no purpose – unless you count stress-eating. But she’s the only one struggling. Shy Grace – ignoring her mother’s dreams for her to join the ‘it kids’ in drama club – is off finding her voice (and a new band) at Bubby’s retirement home and making friends. Even Bubby’s too busy fending off resident mean girls and finding romance to pay Mona much mind. Then, on top of it all, Mona’s twenty-year high school reunion goes viral for all the wrong reasons, leaving her convinced she’s wasted her life. But when tragedy strikes, she is forced to face the truth: The only person who can make you feel small is you – and sometimes you have to lose everything you thought defined you to find what truly matters.
