No husband, no friends, no problem. Until an app matches her with someone who sounds familiar.
Dr. Andie James can run a chaotic ER and stare down the hospital's most arrogant surgeon without blinking. It's everything else in her life that’s falling apart. Her husband moved out, her house is a disaster, and her son has emotional needs she can’t even begin to navigate. But most devastating of all is the realization that without her marriage, she has no social life whatsoever. How can someone so competent at work be so unable to make a single friend?
Resolved to change, Andie signs herself up for every social opportunity she can. The results are disastrous. So she doubles down on her usual plan—work harder, feel less, tell everyone she's fine.
Then Connection Services, the anonymous social app everyone's talking about, matches her with someone called Fuchsia Diamond. Fuchsia is warm, funny, and listens like Andie’s worth hearing. With no name and no face attached, Andie does something she hasn't managed in years. She lets someone in.
When Andie realizes her new friend isn’t a stranger after all, she has to decide whether to break contact or change her life in ways she never imagined.
Breaking Changes is a wry, heartfelt second-chance romance, perfect for fans of Katherine Center, Annabel Monaghan, and Abbi Waxman. It's a marriage-in-crisis love story that includes:
- anonymous texting
- workaholic heroine
- domestic hero
- hidden identities
- no spice
- leads in their 40s
- ER drama
- Single POV
- and proof that some connections deserve a restart.
This is a closed door, kisses-only romance.
Trigger Warnings: Suicide is mentioned as part of character history (a parent), but is not graphically described. It's mentioned in a few sentences total.
