Summary

Meet Ethan and Gabe. A devoted couple with successful careers, an adorable daughter, and a house in the New Jersey suburbs. They may have slowly drifted to different ends of the political spectrum, but their marriage still has its spark. Then one night Ethan makes a shocking announcement: he wants to run for Congress as a Republican. And he will only do it if he has progressive Gabe's blessing.Bored and frustrated, suburban mom Nicole wonders what happened to her younger self—living in New York City, freely dating men and women, and on a path to a career in the art world. Now she feels like an accessory to her husband and yearns for something of her own. She finds it when an old flame re-enters her life unexpectedly. That woman is Ethan's sister Kate.A political reporter at a major newspaper, Kate has reached the top of her profession. But the adrenaline rush of chasing a story has lost its thrill. When Nicole—the woman who broke her heart—slides into her DMs just as her brother starts his controversial congressional run, Kate's life is thrown into a tailspin that threatens to derail the success she's worked so hard to achieve.A sharply observed comedy of manners about family ties stretched thin by politics, How to Sleep at Night is a witty and whip-smart novel that dissects gay marriage, straight marriage, and the ways in which our identities evolve over time.
