<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>After losing her job and fiancé the day before her thirty-fifth birthday, people-pleaser and rule-follower Allison James decides she needs someone to give her some new life rules--<em>and fast</em>. But when she embarks on a self-help mission, she realizes that her old life wasn't as perfect as she thought--and that she needs to start writing her own rules.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Allison James is a people pleaser and rule follower, but the day before her thirty-fifth birthday, that all backfires: she is unexpectedly fired from the public relations firm she's worked at for twelve years, only to come home and find out that her fiancé has been sleeping with her maid of honor. <p/>Feeling lost, Allison takes her friend Jordan's advice and uses the time off for some self-reflection. Over the next few months, she devours countless self-help books (albeit skeptically), schedules a soul reading with an astrologer/psychic/magician, and goes on a meditation retreat in Costa Rica, where she finally starts to feel like she's getting her groove back. <p/>Back at home, her desire to escape the condo she once shared with her fiancé makes her a regular at the new coffeehouse in her neighborhood, where she finds some guidance from (and eye candy in) the attractive owner, Eric. Between Jordan's support, the Barnes & Noble self-help aisle, and the Tao of Eric, Allison gradually discovers that her old life wasn't as perfect as she thought--and that if she truly wants to find her happily-ever-after, she's going to have to start writing her own rules.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>2021 Independent Press Awards Winner in Chick-Lit<br>2021 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards Silver Winner in Fiction: Romance<br>2020 Best Book Awards Finalist in Best New Fiction<br>2020 Best Book Awards Finalist in Fiction: Women's Fiction<br>2020 Best Book Awards Finalist in Fiction: General</b> <p/>"From the very first page, I was hooked on this tale of heartbreak, self-discovery, and one woman's charming determination to turn lemons into lemonade.
