The Suggestion

A Novel by Ashley Broussard

 Releases: July 7, 2025

What if the question wasn’t what’s wrong with us—

 but what if this is the truth we’ve never spoken out loud?

Set in the humid quiet of New Orleans and the echo chamber of a fractured marriage, The Suggestion is a provocative, emotionally intimate novel about desire, silence, and the weight of asking for more. When Penelope LeBlanc proposes opening her marriage, she doesn’t expect her husband, Jack, to say yes. But what begins as a theoretical boundary becomes a lived one—pulling them deeper into themselves, and further apart.

Told with lyrical precision and psychological depth, The Suggestion explores what happens when love survives the truth—or shatters because of it.
