“We’re all pushing some version of the life we want you to believe. It’s all just PR.”
Olivia Morten is perfect. Maybe she’s constantly hungry, but her body is to die for. Maybe her high-flying publicist job has taken over her life, but her clients are L.A.’s hottest celebrities.
Maybe her husband is never around, but he is a drop-dead- gorgeous doctor. And maybe her past harbors an incredibly embarrassing secret, but no one remembers high school…right?
When Ben Dunn, Olivia’s high school arch nemesis and onetime crush, suddenly resurfaces, all of her hard-won perfection begins to unravel. As she finds herself dredging up long-suppressed memories, she is forced to confront the most painful truth of all: sometimes who we become isn’t who we really are.
Press & Reviews:
“By turns funny, painfully honest, and hard to put down…Palmer uses a light touch to broach the subject of female body image, both in Olivia’s mind and as a constant societal background hum…It’s vindicating, then, to watch Olivia rise above the noise…Honest and entertaining.”—KIRKUS
“…the wry humor and honest depiction of relationships here [are] pleasingly familiar. Palmer infuses her heroines with wit and warmth, even when they’re melting down, making her brand of smart women’s fiction resonate with readers.—BOOKLIST
“The F Word is Liza Palmer at the top of her game. This book is effortlessly funny with a very big heart — and still manages to find time to be a meaningful take on women’s relationships with their own bodies. Olivia Morten is a pitch-perfect reminder of the very best and the very worst in us.” —Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Maybe in Another Life and One True Loves
“Fresh, frank, and fearless. Liza Palmer is a road warrior of contemporary fiction.” —Georgia Clark, The Regulars
“Between the characters, the plot, and the tension, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. Spoiler alert: the F is for fantastic!” —Stephanie Evanovich, New York Timesbestselling author of Big Girl Panties
