Out of Practice (Willowdale Falls #0.5)

Emma Winters has spent three years molding herself into the perfect Boston girlfriend. She's toned down her laugh, upgraded her wardrobe, and almost stopped talking to her houseplants in public.

Then her surgeon boyfriend hands her a "professional development plan" for their relationship—complete with bullet points on how to be less... her.

Apparently her enthusiasm is "excessive." Her small-town roots are showing. And her snort-laugh? Endangered species list.

But somewhere between hiding in marble bathrooms and committing crème brûlée assault at a donor dinner, Emma starts to What if she doesn't want to be improved? What if—radical thought—she's actually fine the way she is?

Armed with her sister's unfiltered advice, a collection of cracked teacups, and one spectacular public meltdown, Emma must keep shrinking to fit someone else's idea of perfect, or finally take up all the space she deserves.

Out of Practice is a laugh-out-loud prequel novella in the Willowdale Falls series.
