A fine copy. 2020 Trade Paperback. 379 pp. "With a dream career and a handsome screenwriter husband, TV producer Carrie is at the top of her game. Now with a baby on the way, she will truly have it all - she'll just need someone to fill in for her while she's on maternity leave. A young script editor with some missteps in her past, Emma is determined to make the most of the temporary position. She wants a life just like Carries . . . exactly like Carries. Carrie has given up more than anyone knows to get to the top of a ruthless business. But with Emma filling in for her at the office, her (truncated) perfect life starts to unravel. Her bank account is inexplicably overdrawn, her husband seems strangely distant and colleagues are all too happy to take Emma's creative direction. Carrie finds herself dying to get back to work . . . until a letter left at her door changes everything. (Inventory #: 2309922)
