Adding insult to injury? Tom left behind a globally recognized caricature of her.But this is where the fun starts! Cherry is deciding to take back her story, one hilarious, step at a time. This is a sweet, messy novel on the impossible rarity of finding true love and the exhilarating, soul-crushing difficulty of making that sh*t work.
