Adult Assembly Required

Laura Costello leaves an overprotective family and the memory of a serious accident behind for a fresh start in Los Angeles. When a fire leaves her apartment uninhabitable, she's taken in by a local bookseller and lands in a shared boardinghouse, drawn along the way into a struggling pub trivia team.

Set in the same Los Angeles bookstore world as The Bookish Life of Nina Hill and featuring some of its characters, this stand-alone follow-up is about learning to ask for help, set boundaries, and build a life on your own terms.
