Balancing Acts
BALANCING ACTS: A NOVEL
With beauty, brains, and a high-paying Wall Street job, Charlie seemed to have it allâuntil she turned thirty and took stock of her life, or lack thereof. She left it all to pursue yoga, and now, two years later, she's looking to drum up business for her fledgling studio in Brooklyn. Attending her college's alumni night with flyers in tow, she reconnects with three former classmates whose postgraduation lives, like hers, haven't turned out like they'd hoped.
“An ebullient and wise novel. The pages flew by and I was sad when my time with these great characters endedâbut not too sad to try some yoga.”
â
Valerie Frankel,
author of
This Is the New Happy
Romance book editor Sabine still longs to write the novel that's bottled up inside her. Once an up-and-coming photographer and Upper East Side social darling, Naomi is now a single mom who hasn't picked up her camera in years. And Bess, who dreamed of being a serious investigative journalist a la Christiane Amanpour, is stuck in a rut, writing snarky captions for a gossip mag. But at their weekly yoga class, the four friends, reunited ten years after college, will forge new bonds and take new chancesâas they start over, fall in love, and try to change their lives.
