Welcome to Litsy!

Rosie Benson does not have it all together. Like most twenty-somethings, she struggles to figure out life and soon finds herself following the advice of her late great-aunt through a series of revelatory emails about pursuing long-buried dreams rather than society�s idea of perfect in this fun, highly relatable debut. Perfect for fans of Beth O�Leary, Lizzie Damilola Blackburn, and Sophie Kinsella. �Compelling characters, a page-turning plot, and laugh-out-loud humor�A remarkable debut!� �Stacey Swann, author of GMA Book Club Pick Olympus, Texas What�s a twenty-something gal to do when her parents announce a divorce after thirty years of marriage, she finds out her best friend has cozied up to her archnemesis, and she accidentally sleeps with the Wrong Guy? Turn to her great-aunt for advice, of course. Rosie Benson has always struggled to fit in with her over-accomplished family, type-A roommate/best friend, and workaholic boss. But she�s nearly losing herself as she strives to become everyone else�s idea of perfect. When Rosie is abruptly fired from her job at a tech start-up where her boss was way too enthusiastic about synergy and company swag, the illusion that she has life figured out is shattered. Knowing she needs a push, her great-aunt Dotty�a globe-trotting, martini-swilling occasional nudist, and the only person Rosie has ever truly felt herself around�challenges her to pursue a long-buried dream, others� expectations be damned. But then Dotty dies. And Rosie spirals. As new details of Dotty�s past emerge through revelatory emails from her many friends, Rosie realizes that maybe her aunt�s life wasn�t as charmed as she thought. With her career, friendships, and family unraveling, Rosie must drown out the noise of the world telling her what she should pursue�boyfriend, babies, boss-babe role at a corporate job�and finally focus on what she actually wants.
