Phaedra Patrick is the author of the award winning book, The Messy Lives of Book People. The main character is Liv who works cleaning houses and barely scrapes by with her husband and two sons. Liv has always dreamed of becoming a writer. She is thrilled to get a job cleaning for Essie Starling, a reclusive writer who has written a series of 19 mega selling novels. Liv is surprised when Essie suddenly dies and has asked, in her will, that Liv finish the 20th book in the series. I enjoyed this book with the exception of the many times Liv would mentally stew about someone giving her a look or disparaging her verbally. Liv is a character that is very quick to take offense and to take things personally.
