AMAZING ! is a book that's easy to devour, a page-turning dive into the crisis of a woman whose world is turned upside down--long marriage gone in an instant, career over, and all the plans she'd been expecting to enjoy--gone. We follow Nina as she grapples with the mess of her life, finds allies, makes bad decisions (and some good ones), and tries to figure out who she is and how to live her next chapter. It was a book that took me by surprise--fresh, wise, and unexpectedly moving; the work of a writer at the height of her powers. --Barbara O'Neal, author of THE LAST LETTER OF RACHEL ELLSWORTH
“Every woman who has ever been blindsided by a devastating break up will fall in love with Nina Thorne, Kate Evans’ resilient heroine. I was rooting for her from page one.” – Cathleen Miller, author of Champion of Choice
"A page turner! I was totally gripped." – April Hirschman, author of Desire Makes Me Brave
"The plot is deliciously tangled and exquisitely unravels. I couldn't put it down and was totally intrigued by the twists and turns." – Shulamit Sofia, author of From OY to JOY
"A quick, engaging, compelling read of a meaningful coming-of-age story, retirement edition." – Angela Yarber, author of Queering the American Dream
"Kate Evans does it again with a tantalizing story of engaging characters. Enchanting, relevant, and treasure-filled, this story reminds us to embrace the ones we love the most." - Chris Englert, author of Two Carry-Ons and a Plan
"A gripping, contemporary, and often tangled journey of resilience and reinvention, Amazing! is a compelling coming-of-older-age novel that unravels spectacularly. Nina Thorne turns the pages for you in a drama both enlightening and profound, devastating and humbling. It is proof that rebirth and renewal can happen at any age. It is also proof that great writing takes you somewhere else - into a state of conscious awe beyond the physical act of reading. This is Kate Evans at her very sharpest, her very best." - Paul Robert Mullen, author of it's all come down to this

From the winner of the Bisexual Book Award and Author of the Year comes the story of a woman whose carefully constructed world detonates late in life—and who discovers that reinvention, desire, and truth have no expiration date.
When 62-year-old Nina Thorne’s husband of thirty years asks for a baby—and might be cheating with a chatbot—her life explodes. At the same time, she receives an email from her long-dead mother’s account. Is it a scam, a glitch, or a message from beyond? Seeking answers, Nina journeys from Silicon Valley to Portland to Mexico. Along the way, she reconnects with her estranged sister, encounters her former girlfriend, supports her transgender daughter, and navigates the surreal world of mediums and AI companions. What she does not expect is that her sister will finally break the silence their mother kept for decades. Nina must choose between clinging to the past or forging a new future.AMAZING ! is a book that's easy to devour, a page-turning dive into the crisis of a woman whose world is turned upside down--long marriage gone in an instant, career over, and all the plans she'd been expecting to enjoy--gone.
