I Shouldn't Tell You This

Frustrated with life's disappointments, ranging from a relationship in

disarray to a failed attempt at a prestigious internship, Olivia needs to

get away. On the other hand, Betty needs to finish what she and her

late husband had planned before his death. As luck would have it, the

two women are seated next to each other on a flight to Barcelona; the

rest is history. I Shouldn't Tell You This is a women's fiction novel,

featuring overlapping stories and dual perspectives. The stories of 20-

year-old Olivia and 73-year-old Betty show the ever-evolving

generational differences, but more importantly, highlight the

similarities. Betty may not be the sweet, innocent old lady she initially

seems to be. The mysterious death of her first husband may not have

been such a mystery to her. And Olivia is a perfectly imperfect college

student swept up in an affair with her professor, before coming face-to-

face with his wife and children. After landing in Barcelona, the women

must face the realities they are trying to escape when an unwelcome

surprise awaits at baggage claim.
