Talented and Gifted

The hilarious, heartwarming story of a disgraced former blogger attempting to reinvent herself in the cut-throat world of tech startups while co-parenting with her ex-husband, for fans of Amazing Grace Adams and The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus. Molly Wells was once the queen of mom blogging until an unhinged post about her ex-husband’s affair destroyed her career (turns out that family brands don’t love sponsoring content about busty baristas and secret sexcapades). Three years later, she’s still trying to recover. A temporary ghostwriting gig at a buzzy Portland startup that makes apps and tests for gifted kids tees up the potential for a permanent job, not to mention the professional redemption she so desperately wants. However, with the startup at risk of running out of funds, Molly must find a way to help the founder save the company and outsmart its most recent hire Ana Gooding, a “Sh-E-O” consultant with her own devious motivations.
