For fans of Good In Bed and She’s Come Undone, this is a fabulously fun and wise novel about a woman who gets everything she’s ever wanted, including some surprises along the way

Olivia Morten is perfect. And not in that we’re-all-beautiful-on-the-inside way. Olivia is thin, rich, gorgeous and blonde. She is the kind of woman who makes us feel bad about ourselves—and she knows it.

But she wasn’t always this way. Back in high school, Olivia Morten was the fat girl. And not just in a needs-to-lose-a-few-pounds kind of fat. Really fat. But that was 15 years ago. Since then, she’s left untold pounds behind, built a new life, and never looked back. She has everything she’s ever wanted: a successful doctor husband with movie star looks; a high-powered career as one of LA’s most sought after publicists; glamorous friends; a gorgeous house. Except, underneath it all, she’s desperately unhappy.

After a run-in with a former crush who only knew her as “the fat girl,” Olivia is forced to face old, long-buried insecurities. And as her perfect façade begins to crumble, she realizes how much of herself she lost in her quest to leave her old self behind.
