NO PLACE LIKE by Anna Boorstin Explores the Strange Beauty of Alternate Lives

Unsolicited Press is thrilled to announce the release of NO PLACE LIKE, a captivating novel by Anna Boorstin that bends the boundaries of reality and asks: what if the life you lost wasn’t really gone?

Meet Lexie Brooker, a no-nonsense grandmother and retired landscape architect whose quiet world is unraveling—one strange detail at a time. A new room appears in her apartment. Dead loved ones walk through the door. A different dog lounges in her living room. Has Lexie lost her mind… or slipped into a parallel universe?

Through Lexie’s journey, Boorstin offers a gripping exploration of grief, memory, and the tantalizing “what ifs” that haunt us all. NO PLACE LIKE deftly blends surrealism with humor, emotional depth, and a deeply human story of a woman trying to make sense of a world she no longer recognizes.

Anna Boorstin, a former film editor on iconic 1980s movies (Clue, Beaches, Real Genius), brings cinematic clarity and heart to this genre-bending fiction debut.

NO PLACE LIKE is available wherever books are sold on June 10, 2025.
