*An Amazon Best-Seller in Women's Literary Fiction*

Being blunt never pays the bills—trust me, I’ve tried.

Hey, I’m Ollie. A cash-strapped, 31-year-old aspiring writer, recently unceremoniously pink-slipped from my gig as a social media manager (read: de facto personal lackey) to a reality TV diva. Why? Because I got tired of sugarcoating the truth.

With my bank account gasping for air and my dreams gathering dust, I hatched a scheme: dive into the sugar baby lifestyle, chronicle my misadventures for publication, and maybe make a quick buck. What could go wrong, right? Well, with my serious allergy to nonsense and a knack for putting my foot in my mouth, I’m in for a whirlwind of tangled lies and unexpected truths.

From dodging drama with my ex-boss to navigating a love triangle with a pinch of forbidden love, my life is a tangled web of secret affairs and scandalous revelations. Throw in an unexpected ally and a cheating spouse, and it’s one heck of an emotional rollercoaster. But amidst the chaos, I’m on a journey of self-discovery, proving that even the most empowered women can stumble (and get back up again). With a redemption arc waiting and a happy ending on the horizon, get ready for a rollercoaster ride of love, lies, and life lessons.

From the star of the Emmy award-winning HBO film, "Alabama Snake," and a prolific writer with over 150 screenwriting awards under her belt, including the prestigious Final Draft Big Break Screenwriting Competition and the Atlanta Film Festival Screenwriting Competition, comes a debut novella that promises to be an absolute rollercoaster of emotions, intrigue, and sass! Carere's fiction work has been lauded, being shortlisted for the Leap Frog Fiction Prize and the Catalyst Content Festival.
