Add to your Goodreads to-read shelf for later: 
Lea is a mom, a billing pro, and a woman who decides to stop waiting for friendship to find her.
In this warm, wry contemporary novel about motherhood, grief, and the messy business of making adult friends, watch Lea go from lonely to found as she tests apps, moms groups, and late-night bar confessions.
A smart, character-driven read for fans of women s fiction, cozy small-town settings, and honest domestic humor.
This fiction was inspired by the feelings but not events from Ashley’s quest to find a new Katie in North Carolina.
