Publisher's Summary

'Insightful, poignant and laugh-out-loud funny… a delight' J. COURTNEY SULLIVAN, New York Times bestselling author of Friends and Strangers

'Has the feel of whispered secrets exchanged over cocktails with your smartest friend' JENNY JACKSON, New York Times bestselling author of Pineapple Street

Shared bed. Different dreams…

Meet Ethan and Gabe: a devoted couple with an adorable daughter and a house in the suburbs. They may have drifted to different ends of the political spectrum, but their marriage still has its spark. Then Ethan makes a shocking announcement: he wants to run for Congress as a Republican. And he will only do it with progressive Gabe’s blessing.

Kate is a political reporter at a major newspaper, but the adrenaline rush of chasing a story has lost its thrill. When her ex-girlfriend Nicole – now married and feeling like an accessory in her husband’s life – slides into her DMs just as her brother Ethan starts his controversial congressional run, Kate’s life is thrown into a tailspin that threatens to derail the success she’s worked so hard to achieve.

A sharply observed comedy of manners about public image versus private life, How to Sleep at Night is a witty and whip-smart novel that dissects family ties stretched thin by politics.
