She had a plan for New York. New York had other plans.Maya Torres moves to Brooklyn with one goal: break into publishing, the industry she's dreamed about since she was seventeen. Four hours after landing, that plan is gone - along with her savings, her sublet, and any illusion that this city was going to make anything easy.A gripping, emotionally honest debut about the year between the life you planned and the one you actually build.To survive, Maya takes a job waiting tables under a manager who terrifies half the staff and quietly mentors the other half. She moves in with a stranger who becomes family. She falls, slowly and unglamorously, for a line cook who leaves a cup of tea on her station without being asked. And she watches her oldest friendship - the one she thought would survive anything - nearly come apart in front of a room full of strangers.Still Figuring It Out is contemporary women's fiction for readers who loved the emotional realism of Luster, the coming-of-age-in-your-twenties honesty of Conversations with Friends, and the found-family warmth of Beautiful World, Where Are You - a story about ambition, friendship, first real love, and the particular loneliness of building a life in a city that never once promises to make it easy.- A dual love story - city and self- A found-family cast readers won't want to leave- A friendship-breakup arc as emotionally real as any romance- A slow-burn romance built on small, unglamorous kindness- An ending that's earned, not handed to herThis isn't a fairy tale about making it in New York.
