Miss Fortune Cookie Meet Erin. Smart student, great daughter, better friend. Secretly the mastermind behind the popular advice blog Miss Fortune Cookie. Totally unaware that her carefully constructed life is about to get crazy.

It all begins when her ex-best friend sends a letter to her blog—and then acts on her advice. Erin’s efforts to undo the mess will plunge her into adventure, minor felonies, and possibly her very first romance.

What’s a likely fortune for someone no longer completely in control of her fate? Hopefully nothing like: You will become a crispy noodle in the salad of life.

Lauren Bjorkman’s honest and charming portrayal of love, loyalty, and friendship will leave readers with a sense of having figured out Something Big about life, while enjoying giggles along the way. ~Jennifer Brown, author of Hate List, Bitter End, and Perfect Escape
