2020 Best Book Awards Finalist in Fiction: General "From the very first page, I was hooked on this tale of heartbreak, self-discovery, and one woman's charming determination to turn lemons into lemonade. Fans of Emily Giffin and Lauren Weisberger will love this engaging and entertaining debut!"
-Meg Donohue, USA Today best-selling author of You, Me, and the Sea "Charming Falls Apart is the perfect comfort read. A smart and heartfelt ode to the healing power of friendship and the strength in reinvention. Fans of Sophie Kinsella will root for Allison James as she rebuilds her life on her own terms."
-Allie Larkin, internationally best-selling author of Swimming for Sunlight "A breezy read perfect for a summer day. So many young women rush to make a plan for how they think their lives should go without stopping to think about what will make them happy. We can all cheer for a heroine who loses it all and comes to realize she never wanted it anyway."
-Maria Murnane, best-selling author of the Waverly Bryson series "In addition to being a well-woven story about second chances and trusting your own instinct, Charming Falls Apart is also a love letter to the city of Chicago. One of my favorite things about the book was experiencing the city through Allison's eyes. This book belongs at the top of your list of summer reads."
-Mary Chris Escobar, author of Neverending Beginnings
