The only thing more annoying than being stuck in traffic, the blinding blitzkrieg of paps, or a chain-smoking vegetarian’s health rant, is having everything you ever wanted in the palm of your hand, and the rug swiftly pulled out from under you. El Patterson’s dreams were on the verge of coming true when a tragic twist of fate took it all away. Facing the official end of her early thirties, with not much to show for it, El has to find her footing, and the guts to go after the life she really wants. $6.99 on Kindle.
