Description

In her captivating debut, author Sarah Vacchiano tells an exciting “coming of adulthood” story about a young woman who takes a bold new path in her early thirties, leaving her old life—and starter marriage—behind.When Sam walked herself down the aisle at the age of twenty-two, she never imagined wanting more than the life she had in that moment. Seven years later, with the ink still drying on both her law degree and her divorce papers, she arrives in Manhattan ready to start adulthood over and chase her dreams of becoming an entertainment lawyer, determined to prove to herself that upending her life was worth it.As Sam navigates the high-pressure world of Big Law—heady and demanding, and full of magnetic and powerful people—she finds an unexpected ally in her charming, supportive officemate, Charlie. But just as he begins to tear down the walls Sam has built around herself, she lands her first big client, a “Poker Princess” facing federal charges for running high-stakes games for Hollywood’s elite, and discovers just how high stakes “fake it till you make it” can be when you’ve given up everything to become someone new.Emotionally nuanced and delightfully frothy, Soft Launch is a sharp, witty novel that explores the messy reality of starting over and finding yourself.

  • A Real Page Turner!
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! I related to the L.A. and New York scenes as I lived in one and visited the other. Sam and Charlie's characters were so great and full of life, love, commitment, and sacrifices. I found it so hard to put the book down. Each chapter left me wanting more. I highly recommend this book as it will keep you on your toes and in suspense to see what else will happen to Sam. Will she ever find herself, true happiness, and love? ... show more

  • Absolutely love it 😍
Format: Kindle
Samantha just passed the bar and is getting divorced the same week. She also landed her dream job in New York and this is her fresh start. Then she meets Charlie her “office mate”. Absolutely amazing book 📕. For any of us that is starting over, nobody how old we are is scary 🫣. And this book definitely has that. Samantha tries to balance it all friends work and relationships. After working on a big case that takes her way from every body. She has a hard time finding herself. But then she does and it great, 😊 she finally figure out how to balance everything. The ending was good 😊 it was like will they be together or won’t they. 😌😊🥰 ... show more

  • Not for me, but not terrible.
Format: Kindle
Not gonna lie, it took forever to get into Soft Launch, and having sat with the ending for a bit, I can honestly say I'm not entirely certain of the main plot. I get the main character is trying to find her footing after making a drastic life change, but the actual story is filled with details of legal cases and a fairly absurd amount of random information. I'm left wanting something to help make sense of it all, like the author handed me a puzzle with only 2/3 of the pieces. (I still don't know what the main character looks like beyond apparently having an Italian background.) The writing itself is well done, but I can't say I'll be revisiting this book anytime soon. ... show more

  • SO good!
Format: Kindle
SO good. Really interesting and believable look at navigating the world of law, lawyers, law school etc. but I also loved the keen thoughtful insight about people and relationships. Funny, entertaining and heartbreaking at times, I enjoyed this book!!

  • fabulous debut
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed her writing style. Characters were well developed, and I could relate to much of it. The opportunities for a first year lawyer were a bit much, but I could overlook that for the sake of a great story. Well done.

  • fun read
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed this book. I thought the writing was great and I was surprised at how the characters and story pulled me in. I thought it was just going to be a light romp, but the author did a good job working real life hardships in (alcoholism, broken friendships) and did a good snap shot of what it’s like to roam around nyc in your 30’s. The entertainment law is also very interesting to read about. Would love to see another book by this author! ... show more

  • Good debut
Format: Kindle
The story began in an interesting manner but stories are supposed to have a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning and the information about the Lawyer life were sufficient to induce me to read the whole thing. Unfortunately the middle was a muddle of alcohol fueled shenanigans, and the ending was both abrupt and unsatisfying ... show more

  • Solid debut
Format: Kindle
I received a free advance copy of Soft Launch through Amazon Prime and was pleasantly surprised. As the synopsis explains, Samantha is in her late-twenties, rebounding from an early marriage and divorce and pursuing her dream of being an entertainment lawyer in NYC. The plot line with her office mate is telegraphed from miles away but still manages to be convincing and nuanced, and Sam’s journey seems realistic. The writing is good; I wanted to keep Sam from a few of her less well-considered choices, which I guess shows that I was pulled into the story. A very solid debut novel. ... show more
