Happy Endings

byMelanie Cantor, Rebecca Lacey (Read by)

Brought to you by Penguin.

When Jennifer Cole is told she has three months left to live, she knows her life is f*cked. With nothing to lose, she decides it’s time to admit to everything she’s always longed to say but never dared. She writes three letters: one to her overbearing, selfish sister, one to her spineless, cheating ex-husband, the third to her charming but unreliable ex-boyfriend.

At first it feels great to have finally found her voice. But as things start to unravel, she discovers that the truth has its own consequences…
