Overview

Is the grass any greener on the other side? Palm Springs shimmers with sun-washed glamour, mid-century architecture and a promise of reinvention. Beneath the manicured façades, though, real lives unfold in all their messy, glorious, heartbreaking complexity. Meet Stanford Swanson, a sophisticate whose curated life of pool parties, designer décor and witty banter comes crashing down after Bob, his husband of many years, dumps him for a hottie decades younger. ""It's nothing you said or did, Stanny, or didn't say or do. We're happy. But how do I know I can't be happier? I know the grass isn't always greener, but I have to find out. It's what they say: FOMO, fear of missing out."" Always the contented Palm Springs homemaker, catering to Bob's every business and social need, Stanford now faces life alone... not his strong suit. Enter Charlene Hoskins, his fiercely loyal best friend - an attorney, single mother and force of nature - who's fighting her own battles with love, family and the ghosts of Palm Springs' buried racial strife. And then there's Hakeem - her brilliant, idealistic son - who's navigating first love, prejudice and the pressure to define his future in a world that isn't always ready for him. Told with humor, candor and a keen eye for detail, FOMO is a story about chosen family, second chances and the courage to rewrite the script, no matter your age. It's about standing up to injustice, facing heartbreak head-on and daring to live fully, even when the world tries to put you in a corner. If you love stories that blend hilarity and heart, with characters who grow, stumble and ultimately triumph, this debut novel will stay with you long after the final page.
