"Eve Glass has turned her failed stint as an Olympic runner into pure marketing gold as a motivational speaker and the author of a self-help book. Her beauty and charisma have helped launch her onto the best-seller lists, but now, on the eve of an intense campaign for her new book, it seems her personal life is about to implode. Her ex-husband and former Olympics coach realizes that if he hopes to have a new relationship, he must let his golden girl, and their brief moment in the sun, go; a jilted ex-lover, now a New York Times reporter, sees a profile of Eve as the perfect means to achieve revenge; and her hotshot new manager is beginning to have serious doubts after having to bail Eve out of jail for shoplifting. With its appealing cast of strong, unusual women and its sophisticated sense of humor (a life coach who is a kleptomaniac is just one of many delicious ironies), Bledsoe’s fourth novel is a deftly written take on the search for authenticity."
