With a dark secret weighing heavily on his conscience, former government lawyer Oliver Bartholomew teams with two buddies to perform random acts of kindness in their Adams Morgan, DC, neighborhood. The Squad grapples with everything from mistreated dogs to broken windows. But when an investor fund threatens the neighborhood’s beloved pizzeria, the men are stumped—that is, until Oliver’s old college flame, Rose, arrives. Now, bolstered by Rose’s big-hearted spirit and real-world savvy, the Squad must rally their neighbors to action. And Rose and Oliver must discover if they are meant to be together after all.
Adams Morgan Fugue is a neighborhood love story, an uplifting and often funny novel of friendship, community, and second chance romance that celebrates the revolutionary power of showing up for the people around you.
Reader review: “deeply intimate and remarkably life-affirming.”
