Despite going to group therapy to grow a backbone, Cynthia
Fishbein has a problem being anything other than the "nice"
girl. This all changes when a devious colleague at her
advertising agency schemes to steal her idea and make Cyn
look the fool. With visions of the movie "Working Girl"
running through her head, Cyn decides it's time to stand up
for herself. With the support of her successful and
eccentric friends, she attempts to inject more "badness"
into her job and relationships.
A witty and wonderful romp that avoids so many pitfalls of
British singleton tales, ORIGINAL CYN is an excellent
example of humor with heart. Between descriptions of Cyn's
delightfully loony family, her hysterical best friends and
the interchanges among the therapy group, this book
contains a meaningful storyline of friendship, family and
truthfulness.
A junior copywriter at a London ad agency, Cynthia Fishbein
is the original good girl. She works hard, never complains,
and takes care of everyone around her. Even Cyn’s therapist
tells her she’s too nice. But all that’s about to change
when a catty co-worker steals one of her ideas.
So Cyn goes her one better: She steals the woman’s identity.
Suddenly she’s breaking out of her shell, concocting a
wickedly brilliant scheme to salvage her career–and maybe
get a little revenge in the process. And once Cyn gets
started, she just can’t stop. Soon she’s breaking the #1
rule of group therapy by dating Joe Dillon, the group’s
sexy commitment-phobe. Leading a thrilling but terrifying
double life, embroiled in a deliciously forbidden affair,
she is having the time of her life–until her scheme starts
to backfire in a major way. And unexpectedly Cyn is faced
with a crisis that threatens her career, her relationship–
and just might finish off her sterling reputation for good.
