Hi Jill, I just went on your website to check out some of the other books I haven't read from you yet and I noticed that there will be a new book coming out in June of 2021 Love for Beginners. Right now I can't order the book in hardcover or paperback on Amazon its not available for pre-order but I was just curious if you could provide a synopsis of what this book will be about?

I just this week got the cover copy for Love For Beginners, and am waiting for my web person to get it up on my site (www.jillshalvis.com) But I'll paste it here for you :)
LOVE FOR BEGINNERS:
When Emma Harris wakes up from a coma she learns that her fiancé and her BFF have fallen in love, she’s lost her job, and the life she knew is gone. Overwhelmed but grateful to be alive she decides to start over from scratch. Not as easy as it sounds, of course. But she’s never been a quitter, even if she wishes she could quit rehab, where her hot but evil physical therapist, Simon, puts her through the wringer.
Desperate for a new start, Emma opens a doggy day care. Unfortunately, the only space she can afford is owned by her childhood nemesis Ali Pratt. But hey, she’s been through worse, right? She tries to roll with the punches, but a friend drops his grandpa off at the doggy day care because he can’t find senior care. On top of that, she and Ali bring the term ‘frenemies’ to a whole new level. And then another grandparent shows up. And another.
In the midst of all that, Emma realizes she’s accidentally fallen for Evil PT. But the most horrifying thing of all is that Ali just might have turned into the best friend she’s ever had. And as Emma grows from the pain of her past and takes on her new path, she comes to realize that life isn’t what you’re given, it’s what you make of it.
