内容简介 Book Description
Meet Sophie Applebaum, an everywoman who doesn't quite fit in anywhere. She's looking for a career - but lacks a calling; looking for love - but winds up with men who put her off instead of pull her in. The women she befriends want a girl who's strong but who can't say no. At drinks parties, she feels like a solid trying to do a liquid's job.
It isn't easy to find your place in the world, but Sophie's willing to work at it. And with every false step, she might just be getting closer to creating the life she wants to have...

媒体推荐 Reviews
1. "The kind of girl you'd want to have as your best friend...so brilliantly written you'll want to ration it out, so you never reach the end."
Marie Claire
2. "Endearingly upbeat and witty...reads like Jane Austen rescripted by Dorothy Parker."
Daily Telegraph
3. "Bank is a terrific writer, unafraid of exploring the darker parts of family life: loss and remembrance, change and forgiveness...runs the gamut from hilarity to deep poignancy'
Scotland on Sunday
4. "Observant, astute and comic...one of the most satisfying reads of the summer."
Sunday Times
5. "Brilliant observation, a glorious turn of phrase ...Bank achieves something close to perfection."
Guardian
