Meer oor hierdie e-boek
A friend breakup is healed at a twentieth high school reunion in this women’s fiction novel that is “as slick and enjoyable as a brand-new tube of lip gloss” (People).
Twenty years ago, Allie Denty was the pretty one and her best friend Olivia Pelham was the smart one. Throughout high school, they were inseparable . . . until a vicious rumor about Olivia—a rumor too close to the truth—ended their friendship.
Now, on the eve of their twentieth high school reunion, Allie, a temp worker, finds herself suddenly single, a little chubby, and feeling old. Olivia, a cool and successful magazine beauty editor in New York, realizes she’s lonely, and is finally ready to face her demons.
Sometimes hope lives in the future; sometimes it comes from the past; and sometimes, when every stupid thing goes wrong, it comes from a prettily packaged jar filled with scented cream and promises.
New York Times–bestselling author Beth Harbison has done it again. A hilarious and touching novel about friendship, Love’s Baby Soft perfume, Watermelon Lip Smackers, bad run-ins with Sun-In, and the healing power of “Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific.” Hope in a Jar: we all need it.
“Harbison continues to wow readers with charm and genuine characters.” —Booklist
”Harbison creates vivid, convincing characters and handles them well.” —Publishers Weekly
