The Balance Project by Susie Orman Schnall

5.0

Suffering a book hangover this morning! I started this book yesterday afternoon during my child's nap and was hooked immediately. The Balance Project is about Lucy Cooper, "Coop" trying to do her best in the professional world when all goes to hell. Her boyfriend of 8 years is ready for marriage, but fear on Lucy's side gets in the way. She loves her job and her boss, but still longs for the profession she intended to be in. Her world is spinning, spinning, spinning and then- catastrophe. Ultimatums, the struggle of loyalty, betrayal and revenge and following her dreams all come at Lucy fast within a short amount of time. I could not stop reading. After the kids were in bed, I ended up staying up til just after midnight to finish this book. It has a Devil Wears Prada feel, only with a more put together Andy and much, much nicer Miranda. Even if things get sketchy for a bit. Need an escape from YOUR troubles? Read Susie Orman Schnall's The Balance Project. I don't think you'll mind being in Lucy's hectic life for a while.
