Nori Stedworth was living the good life.
Her own apartment in Manhattan, a hotter-than-hot boyfriend,
and
the best coffee
in the city right around the corner. That is, until one
devastating afternoon that culminates with the unexpected
arrival of
her mother—dragging her entire wardrobe and all her
craft supplies in tow.
When Mom isn’t trying to convince Nori to return home
to marry the most eligible bachelor in Ten Commandments,
Iowa, she’s unleashing her inner Domestic Diva all
over New York. Nori copes by channeling Gertie, her adolescent
imaginary friend. But instead of offering warm fuzzies, Gertie
is now an acerbic (and annoying) butinsky, throwing her two
cents in about everything in Nori’s life. Like, Nori’s
new job at a radio station hosting the wildly popular “Gertie
Gets Even” might finally be her niche—if she
agrees to forego her closely guarded anonymity. Like, Nori’s
drool-worthy boss Mac just might be the man of her dreams—if
she listens to her heart. Like, it’s time Nori stopped
hiding in the shadows.
