"Admittedly, misery is a somewhat extreme dieting technique, and everything I read assures me I am likely to puff up like a blood-bloated tick the second I start eating normally again, but hey, I'm willing to take my pleasure where I can find it." Still emotionally reeling from the cluster bomb fate decided to throw at her love life, Lily is finally shown a lifeline when her book is accepted for publication. Cast into an unfamiliar world following the novel's success, Lily knows she has almost everything she could ever want - except love. Why can't I move on, Annie? Still haunted by dreams of her abusive husband and her dishonest lover, Lily longs to move forward and learn to love and trust again, but karma still has some surprises in store. Karma's a bitch, and you can expect at some point she will come back to bite you. As her old life blends with new, Lily faces yet more choices in her quest to find her happy-ever-after.
