A COMING-OF-MIDDLE-AGE NOVEL
Thing of the Past
A bittersweet story, funny in all the wrong places, about the lives we build, the people we used to be, and what happens when those two worlds collide.
THE STORY
Meet Skye
At thirty-nine, Skye Thomas is convinced something is wrong with her.
After weeks of unexplained symptoms and increasingly frantic WebMD searches, she finally sees a rheumatologist, terrified she has lupus. The good news: she doesn't have lupus. The bad news: the problem might be her life.
Once deeply embedded in the underground music scene, designing CD covers and concert flyers, Skye now spends her days making wellness pamphlets and safety posters for a hospital conglomerate. Her evenings are devoted to wine, watching British people bake things and avoiding her husband in their one-bedroom apartment. And now her husband wants a baby.
Then a song from her past brings back the person Skye used to be—and Jay, her former best friend, the one she never got around to telling she loved. But twenty years of sleepwalking through life have left Skye with a career, a husband and stability that aren’t so easy to walk away from. And Jay may not even remember her.
How do you know when you’re running toward the life you want and when you’re simply running away from the one you have?
