Another chance to open up.
Emma thought her late twenties couldn’t get more complicated. But then she quit her teaching job and moved across the country—only to find herself living right below the man she tried for years to avoid.
Emma hasn’t seen Harrison since an explosive fight ended their college friendship and eliminated the possibility of anything more ever happening between them. Now that his apartment is right above hers, Emma is privy to every detail of his active (and noisy) dating life. She knows she has only herself to blame for their estrangement: her inability to be honest with Harrison drove him away. It’s clear he’s moved on; why can’t she?
Presented with an opportunity to reignite the long-smoldering flames of their relationship, Emma realizes that to seize the moment, she will have to finally face the pelvic floor condition holding her back from intimacy and truly open up. But can she let her desires overcome the resistance in her mind and body?
Funny and tender, Thighs Wide Shut is an all-too-relatable story of how terrifying—and freeing—it is when we let our hearts take charge.
Praise for thighs wide shut
"Thighs Wide Shut is warm, funny, and wonderfully relatable. Emma and Harrison are so real, flawed, and so obviously in love with one another. It's impossible not to root for them, and their second chance. Fleming's debut shimmers from the inside out."
- Lyla Sage, #1 NYT Bestselling Author
"Hayley Fleming's debut Thighs Wide Shut is the kind of book I want to talk about with everyone I know. The voice is so fresh and fun and funny, and Emma and Harrison are two people who feel so real to me, like I've been the friend on the sidelines wanting them to figure everything out so they can be as incandescently happy together as I know they will be. The way Hayley blends vulnerability with humor, the tender romanticism of finding that one person who understands you better than you understand yourself, the journey Emma goes on to feel comfortable in her own body even as she navigates intimacy with someone else . . . I already miss this book and want to read it again. There's something so distinct and special about Thighs Wide Shut -- I will follow Hayley Fleming's writing wherever it goes!"
