Synopsis
Not so long ago, Lizzie Glass had a successful TV show, a cookbook deal, and a social diary crammed with parties and events. But fame doesn t stay fresh for long. Her show fizzles, her magazine column is canceled, and Lizzie s only option is a summer job as personal chef to the Silvesters, a wealthy and eccentric family.
Their beach house is a lavish, beautifully decorated palace on the Jersey Shore, and Lizzie gets to work catering to Kathryn and Jim Silvester s fashionably restrictive diets. But it s their
twenty-something daughter who presents Lizzie with her biggest challenge professionally and personally. A self-proclaimed wellness warrior, Zoe Silvester has a hugely popular website and app that promotes healthy living and organic, unprocessed foods. Yet Lizzie soon realizes that The Clean Life site has a dirty little secret. In fact, Zoe s entire online persona is based on a dangerous hoax that runs deep and will damage lives. Exposing Zoe won t just jeopardize Lizzie s job and a promising new relationship it may expose the cracks in her own past.
Sharply observed, witty, and thoughtful, Paige Roberts debut novel is a compelling look at one woman s journey toward reinventing herself and seeing through the facade of others to discover the imperfect but sometimes wonderful truth."
