Reason for Reading: It looked pleasant enough - like chick lit with a bit of bite to it.
Synopsis: Thirty-something Olivia Hunt has got a lot on her plate - she’s a
Hollywood producer trying desperately to get Don Quixote onto the big screen, her
last movie tanked and left her with a not-so-hot reputation, and her long-term boyfriend has recently just up and left. But then a drunken phone call from her father puts it all into
perspective: her younger sister, Maddie, the eternal optimist, has leukemia. Olivia finds
herself wading through a sea of maybes and has to take her chances on prioritizing her life
- what can wait and what can’t?
