About the Book

From the author of the national bestseller Girls' Poker Night comes the hilarious yet poignant story of a woman trying to resist the urge to live with one foot constantly out the door Ask Again Later is a humorous and revealing novel about Emily, a lawyer by default in her 20s, living in New York City. We meet Emily after quits her job in order to help her mother, who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Emily soon finds that she's not really cut out for nursing, and takes a responsibility-free job as a receptionist at a law firm headed by her father, with whom she hasn't had a relationship in 20 years. Reappearing in their lives upon hearing of his ex-wife's illness, her father quickly brings Emily back to a past she would rather forget, but whose challenges help her get closer to the future she has always wanted. Jill Davis is at her most fresh and sharp, Ask Again Later reveals the laugh-out-loud pros and cons of finally going for the gusto, but finding out it isn't exactly what you wanted.

A-" -- Entertainment Weekly "Davis, the author of 'Girls' Poker Night' and formerly a writer for 'Late Show With David Letterman, ' studs her story with welcome one-liners." -- New York Daily News "There are laughs, there are tears. Nice job." -- Sacramento Bee "Comedy and drama is perfectly balanced in Jill A.
