Jennifer Yeh‘s debut novel, Creatures of Habit, follows Gina Lee on the day of her ex-husband’s engagement party, as the life she once imagined gives way to an uncertain future. When an amphibious stranger crawls through her window asking for help, an unexpected friendship begins to reshape her understanding of loss, possibility, and what comes after the life you thought you were meant to have. Told over the course of a single day, the novel explores reinvention, grief, and the quiet courage required to begin again.
The novel will be published on March 2, 2027, by William Morrow and is available for preorder now.
