‘I’m not the girl men choose. I’m the girl who’s charming and funny and then drives home alone wondering what she did wrong. I’m the girl who meets someone half-way decent and then fills in the gaps in his character with my own imagination, only to be shocked when he’s not the man I thought he was. I’m the girl who hides who she really is…’ Frannie has spent her life disguising who she really is for fear of falling short of other people’s expectations. And when she meets her new boss, Frannie can’t help but wish she was just a bit more like her. Because Emma has it all: the job, the lifestyle, the happy marriage… even the perfect dog. But everything is not as it seems. And Frannie’s about to find out – in the hardest way possible – that chasing perfection isn’t necessarily the route to the happy life that she’s always imagined it to be.

Engaging and poignant and heartbreakingly real, Liza Palmer's tale of best friends, true love and just what size happily-ever-after wears is a winning conversation
Liza Palmer is definitely one of my new favorite writers!
Slick and highly readable
A subtly sophisticated romance that outclasses most of the genre's other offerings... If it sounds chick litty, it is, but consider it haute chick lit. Palmer's prose is sharp, her characters are solid and her narrative is laced with moments of graceful sentiment
Smart, funny and heartbreakingly honest.
'Palmer's likeable characters and snappy dialogue make this novel stand out from the crowd... This quick-witted author is sure to develop a following.'
Really enjoyable read by an author that certainly knows how to surprise her readers! It was highly emotional, disturbing and sad in certain moments, yet romantic at the same time. Really enjoyed reading this book, it was extremely entertaining, enlightening and interesting
