Kaira Rouda | Jill is Not Happy
@Beaverdale Books
From the outside, Jill Tingley has it all. She’s married to her college sweetheart Jack and they’re living the dream in Southern California. Wealthy, popular and genetically blessed, theirs seems to be an enviable life, though they’ve grown distant in recent years. Newly empty nesting with their daughter Maggie away at college, Jill suggests a road trip to reconnect. But the ugly truth is that Jack would rather do anything else than drive to Utah with his wife.
