I read this for genre book club (the theme: books about books). It was an entertaining if somewhat contrived read. Liv works as a cleaner for reclusive best-selling author Essie Starling. When Essie dies suddenly, Liv is tasked with finishing her final novel, under one condition--she must keep the assignment secret. Her writing empowers Liv but strains her marriage, already feeling pressure from financial difficulties and an impending empty nest.
