Description
Kissing Abbi: An Unconventional Love Story is an intimate, emotionally honest novel about two women whose growing friendship forces them to question the traditional lives they're leading-married to men they no longer love. Set in a small town and shaped by emotional distance, narcissism, and a life-altering cancer diagnosis, the story follows Anna and Abbi as their unexpected connection deepens into something neither woman anticipated, nor feels prepared to embrace. Told through alternating perspectives, the novel blends domestic realism with emotional depth, capturing the quiet, powerful pull of unexpected love that arrives at the most complicated time.
As both women navigate marriage, motherhood, illness, and societal expectations, they are confronted with difficult truths about loyalty, authenticity, and the courage required to pursue a truer, happier version of themselves. Warm and confessional in tone-balancing Anna's wry self-awareness with Abbi's practical vulnerability-Kissing Abbi is a bittersweet exploration of love, loss, and midlife reinvention. Inspired by an unquestionably complicated, unexpectedly beautiful true story.
