In a past life, Ann Adams was a junior national champion, national medalist, and resident of the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, New York. She competed in sprint kayaking—a sport that’s a lot like rowing, except kayakers face the right direction and no one has ever heard of them. Today, she lives in Sacramento, California, where she spends most of her time analyzing public policy and going for moderate hikes with her husband and overly enthusiastic cockapoo. Mostly, though, she’s writing stories—especially those about women falling in love and finding their power.

Unfinished Business is exactly the kind of magical realism I love—one that takes something painfully mundane and elevates it into something just absurd enough to expose the emotional truth underneath. A dead mother haunting her former company’s Slack ...more

Nostalgic, witty, and crackling with chemistry, The MASH Up completely won me over—it’s like getting wrapped in a glittery, early-2000s hug you never want to let go of. The voice is sharp and propulsive, the character arcs land, and I found myself la ...more

I genuinely don't think I can say enough good things about this book. At a line level, it's pure beauty with prose that me sit up straighter and want to reach higher as a writer. It's also genuinely funny and tender and heart-warming, which character ...more

This book utterly charmed me. I loved sinking into the rhythm of Calisa slowly fixing up the inn. Those small, tangible moments of cleaning, repairing, and making this place livable again felt both grounding and quietly rewarding. And the characters? ...more
