In her captivating debut, author Sarah Vacchiano tells an exciting "coming of adulthood" story about a young woman who takes a bold new path in her early thirties, leaving her old life--and starter marriage--behind.
When Sam walked herself down the aisle at the age of twenty-two, she never imagined wanting more than the life she had in that moment. Seven years later, with the ink still drying on both her law degree and her divorce papers, she arrives in Manhattan ready to start adulthood over and chase her dreams of becoming an entertainment lawyer, determined to prove to herself that upending her life was worth it.
As Sam navigates the high-pressure world of Big Law--heady and demanding, and full of magnetic and powerful people--she finds an unexpected ally in her charming, supportive officemate, Charlie. But just as he begins to tear down the walls Sam has built around herself, she lands her first big client, a "Poker Princess" facing federal charges for running high-stakes games for Hollywood's elite, and discovers just how high stakes "fake it till you make it" can be when you've given up everything to become someone new.
Emotionally nuanced and delightfully frothy, Soft Launch is a sharp, witty novel that explores the messy reality of starting over and finding yourself.
