"Mix politics, humor, heartbreak, and you have the best mix for 2025's top read." "I couldn't put this book down, it made me laugh, cry, and smile." Mia Verita is living life FFS: Forty, Female, Single, (and finally free). After a painful divorce leaves her unemployed and battling self-doubt, she sets her sights on something bigger: flipping a long-held red seat in the Texas legislature. With no political background, a dwindling bank account, and ghosts from her past tracking her every move, Mia steps onto the campaign trail determined to spark change. But life doesn't pause for politics. Between run-ins with Maxwell Graham, her ex's ruthless attorney, the aching absence of her beloved dog, and old wounds reopening, Mia must confront her past to fight for her future. Meanwhile, her opponent is dining on lobbyist's dimes, when he isn't crafting legislation to drag Texas back to the 1960s. To make matters worse, he shares a common interest with Mia's ex-husband to do more than damage her campaign. Can she win the race? Or maybe find something even more powerful along the way?
