More DescriptionA sharp and uproariously funny look at the modern woman, as seen through the words of a talent agent, pushing forty. Maria O'Mara on Style: "I am definitely having a bad face day, which is so much worse than a bad hair day because it is impossible to just put your face in a ponytail and forget about it."

On the verge of turning forty, Maria has just a few short months to save her job, find a man, and start a family, and she may be going mad. Sophisticated, sleek, and painfully funny, Deborah Skelly's all-too-true debut novel is the notorious roman a clef that's already made an appearance on the New York Post's Page Six and has the entertainment community buzzing with anticipation.
