The acclaimed author of Pug Hill and If Andy Warhol Had a Girlfriend returns with a story of two sisters who've grown up, grown apart—and grown a little too much for their liking… These days, the Isley sisters' sense of camaraderie isn't what it used to be. They're leading their own lives, with less in common every day. Stephanie is an overwhelmed stay-at-home mom with a handsome husband and a six-month-old baby. Meredith has a successful career as a New York restaurant critic, but her only future companion may be a yoga-loving dog. Sometimes it seems the only thing they still share is their mutual desire to lose weight. So they decide to do it together, to turn back the clock to the slim self that Stephanie wants back and Meredith always wished for, and to the easy affection that once let them share everything. Only "everything" is harder now. Because neither sister has been completely honest about things that are very close to home.

“Pace delivers an endearing third novel about two sisters and their quests for companionship and an effective diet. By craftily portraying the balancing act between work and play, family (be it four-legged or two) and friends, and food and fasting, Pace …writes the ordinary well.”
- Publishers Weekly

"A tale of two sisters that charmed me, and even better, introduced me to the wry and artful writing of Alison Pace." 
- Elizabeth McKenzie, author of Stop That Girl and MacGregor Tells The World

“A sensitive and knowing exploration of the trickiness—and value—of meaningful relationships.”
- Kirkus Reviews

“Alison Pace’s take on single-in-the-city is refreshingly honest and poignant.”
- Desert Living Magazine

"Pace's revealing tale about the bond between two sisters reflects the very real and complex nature of relationships. Her novel is simultaneously heartwarming and emotionally charged, and the author's depiction of each sister's outwardly perfect life propels the storyline forward with fascinating detail."
