Emily writes for women's catalogs for a living, but she'd rather be writing books. She has a handsome photographer boyfriend, but she actively wonders how and when they will eventually hurt each other. Her best work friend Megan is her lifeline, until Megan is abruptly laid off. When her world is further upended by an unplanned pregnancy, Emily is forced to make tough decisions that will change her life forever.
What will she sacrifice from her old life to make room for a new one? What fires will she be forced to extinguish, and which will keep burning? Old Flame is a story about the essential--and often existential--choices that define a woman's life at every level, from which dress to wear to when to have a child to how to be in the world.

absolutely devoured Molly Prentiss’ new novel, “Old Flame.” the perfect spring/summer read, filled with so many insights about friendship, modern work life, and trying to make your mark as a creative person. check it out (and order from a local bookstore): https://t.co/riJT7QCiXE
