The Stories We Tell in Bloomington, MN

Lily Harper tells lies.
Like, "Of course I can finish the novel in forty-five days!" when there are exactly zero words written for her Christmas romance novel. Or "I love when you redecorate my life," when her sister takes over-again. And her all-time favorite: "Everything's fine." But now Lily has to face her lies. In order to keep her book contract and brand-new house, she recruits hyper-critical author Curtis Reynolds to help. His razor-blade words cut Lily right out of her own book, yet they also show her the truth behind her fake smiles. Everything is not fine, and it hasn't been for a long time. To save her book, her house, and her family, Lily must find her voice, and turn a rival into a friend-or perhaps more. But finding her voice is the easy part. Does she have the strength to wield it?
