Women's Fiction Contemporary
In a smart, sexy, wickedly funny new novel, the acclaimed
author of Right Before Your Eyes introduces an
unforgettable and irresistibly real heroine:
Michaela“Mike” Edwards, a woman who is forced to reinvent
herself— and discovers that the biggest risk is not taking
one at all….
Fiercely independent and
seriously lacking in social graces, Mike Edwards doesn’t
do sugar and spice. Instead she writes great copy and
stays above the fray—until mishandled office politics get
her unexpectedly fired. Suddenly the young ad hotshot
finds herself doing the unimaginable: moving back in with
her widowed father, hiding from her lecherous mentor,
rethinking her entire career—and trying to unravel complex
feelings for her best guy pal, an Aussie journalist named
Gunther.
For Mike, a few wrenching twists of fate
are leading to a job she never expected: teaching “life
skills” to seventh-grade girls. But sometimes the best
makeovers are the ones you never see coming. Because with
a classroom full of kids who need her, a best friend who’s
fast becoming something more, and a family she’s only just
discovering, Mike has a few surprises in store…and she’s
about to discover that going places in life doesn’t have
to mean going it on your own.
