As a college student, Terry fell madly and destructively in love with Rhinehart, her famous poetry professor, tumbling into a relationship from which she never fully recovered. Now, fifteen years later, shes single, still living in the same walk-up she moved into after college, and languishing as a photographers assistant, having long abandoned her own art. But when she stumbles upon Rhineharts obituary online, she finds herself taking stock of the ways her life has not lived up to her youthful expectations and grows disproportionately distraught at the thought that shell never see him again.
She is shocked when a few weeks later she bumps into Rhinehart himself: very much alive, married, and Christmas shopping at Bloomingdales. What ensues is an intense and beautiful friendship, an unexpected second act that pushes Terry to finally reckon with the consequences of their past and the depth of her own aspirationsand to begin to come back alive as an artist and a woman. Set in New Yorks vibrant art world, The Rest of Us is a captivating read and is as much a love letter to the city and the struggles of its artists as it is a sharp and stirring novel of the heart.

Review
"Although The Rest of Us is about art, love and life, it is also about longing and belonging. Jessica writes with tremendous skill and sophistication, and the novel is truly a pleasure to read."--Ha Jin "author of Waiting and War Trash "
"Jessica Lott's debut is a heartbreaking work of staggering insights written in admirably crystalline prose. An intelligently-rendered May-September story of love, longing, and obsession, "The Rest of Us" recalls both Philip Roth's "The Dying Animal" and Chad Harbach's "The Art of Fielding", but with a compassion, a point of view, and an attention to detail that are all Lott's own."--Adam Langer "author of Crossing California, and The Thieves of Manhattan "
"In her debut novel, the vastly talented and wise beyond her years Jessica Lott crafts a beautifully written and clear-eyed portrait of the artist as a young woman, showing us the other side of the starry-eyed-female-coed-older-famous-college-professor love affair, while tackling the complicated issues of female identity and ambition and the need to make art and feel known."--Elissa Schappell "author of Blueprints for Building Better Girls "
Praise for "Osin"
"The sentences are clean and direct and active and with them she slowly builds a world of complex characters who are struggling, in real ways, to figure out how to connect."--Aimee Bender "author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake "
"A funny and moving story, which shows love survives pain, folly, and losses...This novella is a work of mature sensibility and deep light. It should signify an important debut."--Ha Jin "author of Nanjing Requiem "
"The Rest of Us" is a sharply observant and sexy debut about love, art, feminism, and the search for identity. It's also a valentine to New York, a city whose every landscape here offers memories of the past and opportunities for the future. I particularly admire the emotional nuance and complexity of Lott's characters."--Enid Shomer, author of The Twelve Rooms of the Nile
