Million Little Things

Zoe Saldivar is more than just single — she's alone. She has recently broken up with her longtime boyfriend, she works from home, and her best friend Jen is so obsessed with her baby that she has practically abandoned their friendship. The day Zoe accidentally traps herself in her attic with her hungry-looking cat, she realises it is up to her to stop living in isolation.

Her seemingly empty life promptly turns complicated. Her first new friend is Jen's widowed mother, Pam. The only man to give her butterflies in a very long time is Jen's brother. And meanwhile Pam is being very deliberately seduced by Zoe's own smooth-as-tequila father.

Pam is flustered, Jen is annoyed, and Zoe is beginning to think 'alone' didn't sound so bad after all. Book three in Susan Mallery's Mischief Bay series, which follows the interlocking lives of women in a Southern California beach town; each book stands on its own.
