As stay-at-home mom Amanda turns forty, she faces a reckoning. She’ s doing her best at parenting eight-year-old Toby, who only wants to eat orange-colored food, and almost-four-year-old Blake, who really should be in pre-school but is home doing YouTube aerobics with her. Amanda’ s mother is a successful attorney. Her next-door neighbor makes an enviable living as a visual artist. Her two best friends from college seem to handle careers and motherhood just fine.
Yet, Amanda just barely manages to muddle through dinner every night while obsessively Googling life advice. She’ s racked up failures, like being swindled into pyramid schemes, and is struggling to launch what she thought was a sure-fire influencer lifestyle brand, AMANDAtory.
When her husband loses his job and threatens her with divorce, Amanda is forced to face her choices head-on. Will she finally forge her own identity, or is she doomed to repeat her past mistakes?
