He Said He Would Be Late

“Frank, funny…a read-in-one-sitting ride that’s crazy, heartfelt, and maybe a little heartbreaking as well.”
–Gilly Macmillan, New York Times bestselling author of The Nanny

“A sharp debut examining the often-destabilizing identity of new motherhood, as well as postpartum depression, anxiety, and insecurity. Sullivan deftly conveys the overwhelming frustration of maintaining appearances as she leads readers through an emotional journey to an open-ended but deeply satisfying conclusion.”
–Chris Cander, USA Today bestselling author of A Gracious Neighbor

“A pacey, compelling tale of obsession that’s also an insightful and intimate look at marriage and the many vulnerabilities of new motherhood, this gorgeous debut truly shines!”
–Christina McDonald, USA Today bestselling author of The Night Olivia Fell

“He Said He Would Be Late is mesmerizing and propulsive–at once a humorous and relatable exploration of motherhood and marriage and an entirely successful story of suspense. I absolutely adored this book.”
–Nora Murphy, author of The Favor

“Sullivan should be considered an author to watch”
–Booklist

Justine Sullivan was born and raised just outside of Baltimore, Maryland, where she failed to learn how to shuck a crab and never attended a single Orioles game. She did, however, discover a passion for reading at her local Harford County Library. She went on to study English Literature at the University of Delaware and then earned her master’s in journalism from Boston University and has since spent a number of years working in both newsrooms and the world of branded content.
