Today Will Be Different

Today Will Be Different by Maria Semple. A brilliant novel
and instant New York Times bestseller from the author of
Whered You Go Bernadette about a day in the life of
Eleanor Flood forced to abandon her small ambitions and
awake to a strange new future. Eleanor knows shes a mess.
But today she will tackle the little things. She will
shower and get dressed. She will have her poetry and yoga
lessons after dropping off her son Timby. She wont swear.
She will initiate sex with her husband Joe. But before she
can put her modest plan into action life happens. Today it
turns out is the day Timby has decided to fake sick to
weasel his way into his mothers company. Its also the day
Joe has chosen to tell his office — but not Eleanor —
that hes on vacation. Just when it seems like things cant
go more awry an encounter with a former colleague produces
a graphic memoir whose dramatic tale threatens to reveal a
buried family secret. Today Will Be Different is a
hilarious heart-filled story about reinvention sisterhood
and how sometimes it takes facing up to our former selves
to truly begin living. Published: October 4 2016 by Little
