Skylar, a hopeful designer in New York, faces a pivotal moment when she leaves her toxic job. As she navigates troublesome clients and a hard-drinking boss, her marriage strains under the weight of her ambitions.

At twenty-eight, Skylar celebrates her first anniversary with Neil, but struggles to balance his demands with her career aspirations. After quitting her intolerable job, she joins a prominent designer's firm, only to find her husband growing distant.

Under her new boss Andrew's wing, Skylar thrives in the NYC design scene, yet soon realizes his obsession with fame and alcohol threatens both their careers. As she takes on clients like Matthew, grieving the loss of his fiancée, Skylar grapples with her own past traumas.

Caught between Andrew's vices and Neil's resentment, Skylar dreams of launching her own firm. Encouraged by Matthew's support, she takes the courageous step to start her own business. As Skylar's career flourishes, tensions with Neil escalate, leading to a revelation that will alter her life forever.

Through Skylar's journey, from humorous client encounters to inspiring lessons on success and love, readers are drawn into a story of resilience and transformation.

Loved it. Will recommend to others.

I really enjoyed this book. Set in New York, this book is about Skylar who is an interior designer and her life as she faces challenges not only in her job but in her personal life. I did find it a bit slow at times and it could have been more exciting hence why I gave it 3 stars. However I really liked the writing style and found the interior design parts interesting to read about. I would definitely read more of her books and would recommend this book to others.
Thank you Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book, all opinions expressed are my own.

This story grabbed my attention right away. I disliked how the main character's husband spoke to her but I appreciated how she didn't give up on her dreams despite the hardships she faced. Thanks to NetGLley for the ARC.
