Claire Malone didn’t
mean for this to happen when she moved to New York. She just wanted to
live the city life and gain experience in television writing, her dream
career. It’s not like she meant to reciprocate when her married boss,
Sean Vared, sent her flirty e-mails. And you can’t blame her for coming
into the office on the weekend when Sean told her he was going to be
there . . . alone. She didn’t mean to sleep with him but hey, she wanted
to experience the city life, so no big deal, right?Wrong. By the time
Claire wakes up on her 25th birthday, she’s very much in love with Sean.
At work, she struggles to hold it together when he passes her desk–the
very desk that they used to make love on. Soon Sean has turned his
affection to the show’s starring actress, and Claire is devastated. Can
she break away from Sean without ruining her barely started career? Will
someone find out what happened? Will she ever grow up and stop making
stupid mistakes? 25 Sense is about the time in a young woman’s life when
the world starts to view her as a responsible adult but all she feels
is lost.

“Lisa Henthorn’s 25 Sense involves lights, camera, and a whole lot of action.” ―SheKnows
“Henthorn’s
novel is absolutely a rare thing. It’s wonderful and encompassing and

to be 25.” ―Literature Typeface
“25 Sense is funny, sad, and keeps the reader engaged. I highly recommend this book.”―Synchronized Chaos
“Henthorn’s
simple language takes us head first into an imaginary tale similar to
the ones of Sophie Kinsella, Jennifer Weiner, Candace Bushnell, and
Helen Fielding―which makes you wonder: how in the world that is so
enamored of chick-lit, a fresh voice like Lisa Henthorn is not on top
along with the other goddesses.”―Jaylan Salah, writer and film critic, Authors, Large and Small
