Shared bed. Different dreams...
Meet Ethan and Gabe: a devoted couple with an adorable daughter and a house in the suburbs. They may have drifted to different ends of the political spectrum, but their marriage still has its spark. Then Ethan makes a shocking announcement: he wants to run for Congress as a Republican. And he will only do it with progressive Gabe's blessing.
Kate is a political reporter at a major newspaper, but the adrenaline rush of chasing a story has lost its thrill. When her ex-girlfriend Nicole - now married and feeling like an accessory in her husband's life - slides into her DMs just as her brother Ethan 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 public image versus private life, How to Sleep at Night is a witty and whip-smart novel that dissects family ties stretched thin by politics.
