Lizzie K. Foley has an MA in Education from Harvard and has taught Women’s Studies at Northeastern University, but this novel was inspired by her experience as the unremarkable little sister of two exceptionally remarkable big sisters. Lizzie didn’t have her oldest sister’s photographic memory or the coolness of her middle sister, who was a model, but, in her own words, she “made it through junior high and high school without being noticed by anyone or achieving anything of note—which is kind of an accomplishment in and of itself.” Lizzie currently lives in Montclair, New Jersey, with her husband and son and four poorly trained dogs.
Review by Coco: I really liked it and I really had fun reading. It never knew what it would end on. It really changed my life about not being remarkable. If you do the things that you want to do it’s not that it doesn’t make you happy…what did I say?
