About the book

"Fresh, frank, and fearless. Liza Palmer is a road warrior of contemporary fiction." -Georgia Clark, author of The Regulars

Olivia Morten is perfect. Maybe she's constantly hungry, but her body is to die for. Maybe her high-flying publicist job has taken over her life, but her clients are L.A.'s hottest celebrities. Maybe her husband is never around, but he is a drop-dead-gorgeous doctor. And maybe her past harbors an incredibly embarrassing secret, but no one remembers high school...right?

When Ben Dunn, Olivia's high school arch nemesis and onetime crush, suddenly resurfaces, all of her hard-won perfection begins to unravel. As she finds herself dredging up long-suppressed memories, she is forced to confront the most painful truth of all: sometimes who we become isn't who we really are.

    The protagonist is a slim, rich, pretty publicist to some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. She has a great house, a handsome doctor husband--the perfect life, right? Of course not. I found this book a little tiring and hard to read. The premise isn’t original at all, which, fine, but then I had a hard time rooting for her, either. Which made me wonder if that’s internalized misogyny, because does the woman always have to be likeable? But it’s more than that; I found her so self-absorbed as to be kind of boring. The book resolves with some good lessons and humor, so I didn’t consider it a waste of time, but I will probably forget about it fairly soon.
