Renae isn’t falling apart. She’s holding it together—through grief, grown children, complicated friendships, and a body that has suddenly decided to do whatever it wants.
Dating again at midlife wasn’t part of the plan. Neither were hot flashes in public, mysterious itching, or the quiet realization of just how invisible women can become once they stop fitting a certain narrative.
But with the help of fiercely loyal friends, and a connection that feels more like safety than sparks, Renae begins to see that this stage of life isn’t about reclaiming who she used to be.
It’s about becoming someone more honest, more resilient… and far more herself.
Still Allowed is a funny, tender contemporary romance for women who don’t see themselves in stories about perfect bodies and effortless desire. A story about love after loss, friendship as medicine, and finally being seen—exactly as you are.
