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: MichaelaβMikeβ Edwards, a woman who is forced to reinvent herselfβ and discovers that the biggest risk is not taking one at allβ¦.
Fiercely independent and seriously lacking in social graces, Mike Edwards doesnβt do sugar and spice. Instead she writes great copy and stays above the frayβuntil 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 careerβand 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 βlife skillsβ 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 whoβs fast becoming something more, and a family sheβs only just discovering, Mike has a few surprises in storeβ¦and sheβs about to discover that going places in life doesnβt have to mean going it on your own.
