A sharply funny and big-hearted multi-generational story about the deeply complicated relationships between mothers- and daughters-in-law, told through three women who marry into the same family

On the towering stilettos of The Devil Wears Prada comes a biting, mordantly funny debut novel about the unladylike business of publishing a ladylike magazine. Maggie Goldfarb, a girl from Fargo, North Dakota, transforms into Magnolia Gold, the high-powered editor in chief of Lady magazine. With a corner office and designer wardrobe, she aims to modernize the magazine until she is abruptly replaced by Bebe Blake, a brash television personality who remakes Lady in her own hilariously inappropriate image. With ketchup-red hair and skintight clothes, Bebe's unpredictable antics baffle everyone as she infuses the magazine with her bawdy humor and over-the-top generosity. Shunted to a neglected back office, Magnolia seethes as Bebe turns her beloved Lady into a chaotic sideshow. As Magnolia watches her career spiral, she fears she may never recover. However, she can't predict the deeply satisfying triumph that awaits her. Amidst office backstabbing, she also discovers Mr. Right in a city full of Mr. Not-Quites. Inspired by real-life events, this novel explores the fall, rise, and sweet revenge of a woman navigating corporate shenanigans, filled with gossipy revelations about celebrity obsession and the media business in all its malfeasant glory. It's a delicious, can't-stop-reading tale.

Neprežaljena Molly Marx kombinira elemente krimića i ljubavne priče, pružajući duboko emocionalno iskustvo. Unatoč mračnoj temi, duhovitost glavne junakinje osigurava osmijeh do posljednje stranice. Molly, koja je imala trideset dvije godine kada je umrla pod sumnjivim okolnostima, otkriva da može promatrati svoje najbliže iz “onog poslije”. Među njima su Annabel, njezina četverogodišnja kćer, sestra blizanka Lucy, jedinstvena svekrva Kitty i suprug Barry, plastični kirurg s dubljim odnosima prema pacijenticama. Dok Molly promatra, njezini najbliži pokušavaju otkriti je li njezina smrt bila nesreća, samoubojstvo ili ubojstvo. Posljednji put viđena je živa na vožnji biciklom u Riverside Parku, a tijelo je pronađeno na obali rijeke Hudson. Pitanja se množe: je li se susrela s nekim, okončala život iz osobnih razloga ili jednostavno izgubila kontrolu nad biciklom? Dok policija istražuje, Molly se vraća u prošlost, razmišljajući o svom kompliciranom braku, uspješnoj karijeri urednice i neodoljivom kolegi koji ju je privukao.
