DEBUT Liz has a seemingly enviable life with a fabulously hunky husband and a job in a field that she loves. But Liz fights invisible demons as she feels stuck and unseen; she envies the easy way her husband converses, navigates workplace relationships, and schmoozes with the boss and clients. Determined to be seen, for a change, and not be relegated to supporting character in her own life, Liz takes drastic measures. Living apart from her husband and throwing herself into improv classes, she tries to reach out and be the social starlet who will win the boss’s praise and earn herself a promotion. Always being different comes full circle as those around Liz realize they just need the Liz whom they know and love. Being different and uncomfortable in social situations is not new, but this novel brings Liz’s journey of self-discovery into the spotlight.
VERDICT Both a universal story of love and a unique story of social struggle, North’s debut is a laser-sharp and warmly comforting read that is not to be missed.
