Restless in LA: A Novel by Robin Finn

        

Alexandra Hoffman thinks she has it all together. She lives with her work-obsessed husband Jason and their three challenging children in upscale LA. She never meant to “friend” her old boyfriend, Matt Daniels. She hasn’t seen him in 20 yrs. But as Alex’s fortieth birthday approaches, she finds herself re-connecting with Matt online-and re-reading her college journal, which details their intense connection and unresolved ending. Lonely and alienated, Alex’s flirtation quickly moves from on-line to real-world. When she meets Matt for dinner, the attraction is undeniable. Alex must confront her past and find the courage to face her future, even if it means risking everything
