Please join us on Monday, June 14th at 7 pm ET when we welcome Aidan Donnelley Rowley, to discuss her debut novel Life After Yes, on Book Club Girl on Air. Gretchen Rubin, author of the New York Times bestseller The Happiness Project, calls Life After Yes “[A] funny and a wickedly accurate picture of the life of a particular breed of Manhattanites—and it’s also thought-provoking and deeply moving.”
This is the story of Quinn—born Prudence Quinn O'Malley—a confused young Manhattan attorney who loses her father on that tragic September morning that changed everything. Now, at an existential crossroads in her life, Quinn must confront impossible questions about commitment and career, love and loss. Her idealistic beau desperately wants a wedding, and whisks her away to Paris just to propose. But then Quinn has a dream featuring judges and handcuffs and Nietzsche and Britney . . . and far too many grooms. Suddenly, her future isn't so clear. Quinn's world has become a minefield of men—some living, some gone, and traversing it safely is going to take a lot more than numerous glasses of pinot grigio.
Life After Yes is a blisteringly honest, thoroughly modern tale of life and love in chaos, marking the arrival of a truly exciting new voice in contemporary fiction.
Browse inside Life After Yes, check out Aidan Donnelley Rowley's blog, Ivy League Insecurities and take a look at the reading group guide to Life After Yes. You can also follow her on Twitter and friend her on Facebook.
