From the best-friend authors of Goodbye, Jimmy Choo comes a touching and bittersweet novel about one woman's attempt to let go of her worst fears, and live the life she's always dreamed of  Lucy Streeter has never been a risk-taker—as a single mother with a struggling business, she's never felt brave enough. Her life is one of unfulfilled ambitions and missed opportunities as she spends her days making divine, flamboyant clothes that express all the passion she hides from the world. Everything changes one evening when an enigmatic fortune-teller informs Lucy that her future is far from rosy—in fact, she doesn't have one! Once his other prophecies come scarily true, she starts to wonder if he could be right, and his prediction pushes Lucy to finally throw caution to the wind. So begins a riotous race against the clock as Lucy tries to squeeze a lifetime of fulfillment into a handful of days. She faces her demons, confronts those that have annoyed her, and finally risks the thing she's guarded most—her heart. But will she actually live to regret throwing caution to the wind? "A warm, genuine friendship—along with a successful cosmetics line—develops in this refreshing debut."  — Publisher Weekly on Goodbye, Jimmy Choo "What sets it apart are the rich inner lives given not just to the lead couple but also to a sampling of their family and friends. . . .
