The Los Angeles Times–bestselling author of Helen of Pasadena offers a “charmingly funny and effortless read” about new love, new life, and Shakespeare (Library Journal, starred review)****.
English professor Elizabeth Lancaster is living her perfectly orchestrated, perfectly dull life when action star FX Fahey—her college boyfriend and one-time philandering husband—shows up with a job offer she can’t resist. In order to snag some positive buzz for his upcoming flick, the studio wants FX to gain some serious acting cred. That means taking a part in an avant-garde version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. And it’s up to Elizabeth to make sure FX doesn’t humiliate himself.
But the job gets complicated when Elizabeth meets a man who may actually be a good guy. Suddenly she’s learning to let go of the past and go after the life that she truly wants for herself . . .
As she did so wonderfully with her first novel, Helen of Pasadena—which spent more than a year on the Los Angeles Times bestseller list—Lian Dolan spins a lively, smart, and very funny tale of a woman reinventing her life in unexpected ways.
