When Billy Rendell suddenly gets everything she wants, it turns out to be the last thing she needs…
A long-awaited promotion. Freedom from emotional baggage. A newly—ahem—amorous husband. What’s wrong with this picture? Well…everything. For starters, Billy hasn’t actually earned any of it. Instead, like some character in a fairy tale, this stuck-in-a-rut publicist had all her wishes granted overnight—which feels great, at first. But soon Billy’s brand-new success starts to unravel—who’d have thought becoming a VP would be so Very Painful? Or that a harmless crush on a co-worker would turn not-so-harmless now that he’s crushing back? It’ll take a surreal, rollicking, high-stakes journey for Billy to realize what she really wants out of life…before it’s too late.
