  • You're navigating midlife changes and wondering if reinvention is still possible after your thirties or forties.
  • You appreciate romance that centres on older protagonists learning to date again in the modern world.

  • You're looking for a beach read. This requires you to sit with Nick's real fear and self-doubt.

About this book

Dr. Nick Jordan, a successful plastic surgeon in New Orleans, faces a crisis when his twenty-year marriage ends and his practice begins losing money. At fifty, he questions whether he can start over and find love again after decades of building his identity around his career and marriage. Stripped of the confidence that defines him in the operating room, Nick struggles with modern dating. Dating apps, first dates, and the changed social landscape since his last single years leave him wondering if he's too old, too rigid, and too emotionally damaged for romance. Author Michael Godin, a facial plastic surgeon himself, draws on his professional experience running a medical practice and personal experience navigating major life transitions to create an authentic portrait of the medical world and midlife challenges. When unexpected romance arrives, Nick must decide whether to risk his reconstructed life for genuine happiness. Through humor and emotion, the novel explores whether it's possible to rebuild one's capacity to love after heartbreak.
