Millie In Progress

She developed an AI to fix her coworkers. It just might fix her life instead.

Millie Foster just wants to build apps that make people's lives better. What she doesn't want is to argue endlessly with coworkers who seem allergic to logic. So when she loses yet another boardroom battle, Millie figures if she can't understand people, she'll program something that can-an AI "conversation coach" to whisper real-time advice in her ear.

It's a perfectly reasonable solution. (And no, her recent, entirely overlooked thirtieth birthday has nothing to do with it. She's not lonely, not at all, and she resents the suggestion.)

But as Millie tests her creation in everyday life, the results are... unexpected. Instead of simply smoothing office debates, the AI nudges her into the messy business of actual friendship-whether it's cheering on her quirky neighbor in a lasagna contest or teaming up with the maddeningly charming Graham Elliot to pitch her startup to investors.

But when her startup is betrayed and Millie gets blamed, she'll need more than algorithms and logic to clear her name. Maybe even... friends.

Smart, heartfelt, and delightfully offbeat, Millie In-Progress is perfect for readers of Courtney Walsh, Melissa Ferguson, Gail Honeyman-or any reader who loves their women's fiction grounded in faith with a smart heroine and a hearty dash of romcom.
