When Molly's soon-to-be fiancé Gabe finishes his novel, it's a bit of a shock. Even more surprising is the titular character of the novel who happens to be based on his ex-girlfriend, Talia. In their relationship, Molly is always the steadfast partner willing to support Gabe in his writing. With the novel finished, their lives change drastically as Gabe quickly gets a book deal and some unexpected publicity puts the work's word-of-mouth buzz off the charts. Then it seems that Molly and Gabe are on opposite trajectories as Gabe starts to realize his wildest dreams, and Molly becomes more unhinged. When Molly finally hits rock bottom, she's faced with rebuilding parts of her life she thought were rock solid before Gabe's novel was published.
VERDICT Palmer (Pretty in Ink) hits the right tone that is both funny and poignant as she documents Molly's downturn from together fiancée to crazy ex-girlfriend. Perfect for fans of Emily Giffin and Elin Hilderbrand.
