More about the book

In the bestselling tradition of Good In Bed and She's Come Undone comes a charming romantic comedy about a woman who flees a life and a body she doesn't want, and finds love and her true self in the process. Charlotte Clap has worked in a bank in a small New Hampshire town all her life. Just when it seems things couldn't get worse (she's over- weight, loveless, and recovering from the death of her mother), she learns from the doctor that she has one year to live. So, resolving to live with no regrets, she quits her job, and right after her farewell party, steals two million dollars from the bank. Charlotte buys a million dollar Hollywood condo (in cash!), changes her name to Blossom McBeal, and falls in love with Skip, the gorgeous pool guy with a surprising past. While the New Hampshire police search for her, Blossom takes to the pool every evening under the cover of darkness to swim laps and reflect. Suddenly the pounds start dropping off, and it looks like her burgeoning friendship with Skip could turn into something more....but will her criminal past catch up with her and prevent her from finding true love?
