About It's Getting Hot in Here:

In internationally best-selling, award-winning author Jane Costello’s forthcoming novel Its's Getting Hot in Here (Zibby Books, on sale February 4, 2025), a perimenopausal woman juggling it all is knocked off her feet by the last thing she needs: a suave new man to interrupt her precariously balanced life. But is her newfound flush a hot flash? Or is it just getting hot in here?

Lisa Darling, a high-flying TV executive and twice-divorced mother of two, is navigating life with an opinionated teenager and a pet-obsessed grade schooler, organizing PTA events, and supporting her best friend through breast cancer treatment, all while in the throes of perimenopause. It’s no wonder her to-do list is on overdrive and she never has time for pilates or that DIY interior design project she keeps setting aside.

But when LA-based media hotshot Zach Russo swoops in as a temporary stand-in for her best friend’s job, Lisa starts feeling overheated and flustered. But that’s just the menopause, right? She chooses to believe her hormone replacement therapy needs some adjusting, until she finds herself in a sexy—and seriously ill-advised—cinch with him. As things snowball, Lisa has to confront these long-forgottenfeelings and ask herself what it is she wants and what it is she’s ready for.

Hilarious, relatable, and delightfully swoon-worthy, It’s Getting Hot in Here is the laugh-out-loud, coming-of-middle-age, rom-com meets mom-com readers have been waiting for.
