What do you do when your little sister has been engaged six times, your mother is dating a man with a fish obsession, and your father has just run off with a distant cousin? In this hilarious debut novel, Holly Phillips finds herself at a turning point at thirty. Living in a small Greenwich Village apartment, she edits books about whales that seem to have more exciting lives than she does. Surrounded by friends and family making bold moves—her sister with multiple engagements, her newly divorced mother rediscovering romance, and her father living with a cousin in Houston—Holly feels stuck. Her ex-husband's unexpected visits with strange food add to the chaos. It’s time for Holly to get her just desserts, which means taking risks like confronting her memo-happy boss, reconnecting with her estranged father, and accepting a date with her shy coworker who blushes at every interaction. Ready to leave behind her routine Saturday nights, Holly embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Embracing the wild and the unknown, she learns that the only way to savor the sweetness of life is to take a big bite.
