"Watch What She Can Do is an unexpected and unapologetic novel about friendship, marriage, and above all, what it means to be a woman in this world. Nicole Brooks is a truly gifted writer who managed to make me cry one page, then laugh the next—and who has crafted a story I’ll be thinking about for a long time to come.” —Camille Pagán, bestselling author of Good for You


Worn down by life, 63-year-old Willie Copeland refuses to call 911 for her dying husband, Stan, launching herself into an unexpected coming-of-age journey.

Without Stan and his constant needs, Willie happily settles into single life. But when her son, Jonathan, expresses suspicion about that night, she runs away to Vancouver Island for a long overdue reunion with her wild high school best friend, Roxanne. Fuelled by her sudden freedom, Willie embraces a roaring, headlong journey into self-discovery.

As good old-fashioned fun devolves into reckless and illegal behavior, Willie relishes in the power she has unlocked within herself. But when she finds herself holding another man’s life in her hands, she quickly realizes that she must confront the real reason behind her still-blistering rage—Jonathan.

So, Willie must choose: does she reveal what really happened with Stan’s death, knowing it may cost her Jonathan as well as her newfound autonomy—or does she make what may be her final stand by speaking up for the women in her life … and herself?
