How To Sleep At Night by Elizabeth Harris is a contemporary fiction novel published by The Borough Press / HarperCollins Publishers. It follows Ethan and Gabe, a married couple whose relationship is tested when Ethan announces that he wants to run for Congress as a Republican and needs progressive Gabe’s support.

Alongside their story, Kate, a reporter who has lost her excitement for chasing stories, reconnects with her ex-girlfriend Nicole, now a frustrated stay-at-home mother. Their renewed connection unsettles both women and raises difficult questions about ambition, love, self-image, and the gap between the lives people perform and the lives they privately want.

The novel is a sharply observed comedy of manners about marriage, politics, family pressure, sexuality, public reputation, and private longing. It is well suited for adult readers who enjoy contemporary literary fiction with humour, social tension, and emotionally complicated relationships.
