Warm & witty standalone sequel
Assi, a forty-something accountant, seems to have it all: a steady relationship, a child-free routine, and a perfectly styled home. Thanks to the community at the Laundrette on Park Street, her life even boasts a splash of color. Yet Assi can’t shake the feeling that something’s missing.
Sorting through a neglected family estate uncovers secrets—and stirs questions about the life she’s built. Soon Assi finds herself wiping away more than cobwebs—she’s confronting turning points in her own life. And when the rugged instructor of a winter survival course stirs unexpected emotions, Assi realizes some things can’t be laundered clean.
As the last musty curtains and stained pillowcases leave for the laundrette, Assi faces a choice: how long can you settle for a life that’s neither unhappy nor truly happy, but something pale in between?
A warm, witty novel about second chances, family ties, and daring to choose more than “good enough.”
