Sometimes, maybe a little too strong.When a serendipitous contest win propels Cara and her husband Griffin to Los Angeles, they get pulled into a world that Cara had only ever daydreamed about. There, she is given the opportunity to fulfill her dreams and create a new version of herself. But which version will she choose? And at what cost?Maladaptive is the hilariously earnest coming-of-middle-age tale of a neurodivergent woman navigating a tantalizing and terrifying new world, one real or imagined catastrophe at a time. This book contains mature content and is intended for adult readers (18+).
