Divorce Books: Soft Launch: A Coming-of-Adulthood Novel by Sarah Vacchiano
Sarah Vacchiano married at 22 and was divorced by 27 — then spent the next decade figuring out who she actually was. The Los Angeles entertainment lawyer and first-time author joins Olivia to talk about her debut novel, Soft Launch: A Coming of Adulthood Story, drawn from her own first year after divorce in New York City. They talk representation in divorce media, how childhood shapes the relationships we choose, and why "coming of adulthood" fit her story better than "coming of age."
