A novel by Tristan Coates

Not now, dear.

A warm, witty story about the people we love, the boundaries we draw, and the life that starts when we finally make room for ourselves.

The story

Some doors are better closed.

Not Now Dear is a novel about the beautiful mess of becoming yourself, even when everyone around you has an opinion about it.

Funny, intimate, and full of warmth, it is for anyone who has ever been asked to be smaller, quieter, or more convenient.

Written by Tristan Coates.
