Dear （almost） everyone: Can we be friends again？

Life is about to get complicated for Amelia Montgomery， a prominent litigator in Chicago。 She’s been fired for not compromising her principles in a high-profile case and then punching her partner in the nose for the misogynistic comment he made in retort （not her finest moment）。 Leaving a career that gave her purpose， Amelia can only ask， What next？

Let it be better than her epic failure of a fortieth birthday party: an open bar full of no-shows except for John Ellis， a total stranger and the new associate at her ex-firm。 As it turns out， though， he’s very good company—and a wake-up call。 With the help of John and a lot of champagne， Amelia considers the people she’s wronged， from old besties to former boyfriends to coworkers。 Amelia resolves to make amends—to those who really deserve it。

One apology at a time， Amelia’s looking at the choices she’s made in the past， the new ones she’s making with John， and those she’s making for herself。 What next？ Maybe a second chance she never expected。
