The Life She Wanted (2023)
Anita Abriel
"The glamorous cast of characters in Anita Abriel's The Life She Wanted captivated me from the start, while the unforgettable setting had me dreaming about stepping inside every mansion in wealthy 1920s New York. But I adored Pandora most, the novel's plucky heroine whose single father works at one of the region's grand estates, giving Pandora entree into a world of glittery formal balls and suitors with deep pockets. And while Pandora seems like she's on a path to good fortune, her story shows us it's rare that life turns out as planned - no matter how much money you have. For anyone who loves a sweeping rags-to-riches tale, Anita Abriel's novel delights!"

But it's her journey to find enduring love that makes the pages fly.

"Raw and unflinching, this heartbreaking portrait of one glamorous social media influencer's quest for physical perfection is insightful and moving, thanks to author Julia Spiro's talent in proving the power of authenticity.
