Launch of Being Shelley by Qarnita Loxton

Shelley is in her forties and feels trapped. The coffee and décor shop she opened with her bestie is proving to be a gilded cage. Meanwhile her husband, Jerry, is consumed with Jewish guilt since having their twins, which reminds Shelley that she will always think of herself as the “shiksa” to his family. Then she hires Wayde Smith, a 22-year-old surfer, as barista. He makes her feel young and Shelley is tired of fighting with Jerry. She just wants to have some harmless fun. Can’t a women be friends with her male employee?
