A collection of short stories that revolve around marriage, celebrity and female friendship.

In ‘Lost But Not Forgotten,’ Lee Fiora from the novel Prep returns for an awkward school reunion twenty years later. In ‘Pretzels are for Biting,’ a woman looks up two best friends that she moved away from after her divorce. In ‘Creative Differences,’ a photographer from the mid-west realizes that the ‘documentary’ she stars in is actually a commercial for a multi-national corporation. In ‘Atomic Marriage,’ a Hollywood producer falls for a Christian self-help author while working on their film adaptation.

In these twelve stories, Sittenfeld explores fame, marriage and celebrity, and women's lives at the intersection of sex, love, ambition and the pursuit of a fulfilling life.
