How to fall out of love madly : a novel / by Casale, Jana,author.;
"Joy and Annie are friends and roommates with decent jobs, crushing student loans, and an extra bedroom in need of an occupant--ideally someone they don't hate. Theo instantly fits the bill, and soon, Joy and Theo are platonically nesting over movie nights and midnight hijinks.

After moving in with her boyfriend, she realizes that she's become an actress constantly performing his approved-of version of herself. Then, when she receives an anonymous letter accusing her brilliant, supportive boss of sexual assault, she is forced to decide who and what she's willing to stand up for. Meanwhile, Celine may look perfect on the outside, but she's wrestling with some inner demons of her own"--

Sal Cannon is a struggling magazine writer, dealing with the professional humiliation of being conned by a serial liar. She's close to rock-bottom when she reads a short story by Martin Keller, the much older author she met at a literary event years ago. Much to her surprise, the piece is about her and their brief encounter. Desperate to read more of the unpublished novel from which the story is taken, she is shocked to learn that Martin has died. But as her own life and relationships fall apart, Sal makes a rash decision: she will seek out Martin's widow, Moira, and convince her to let Sal read the rest of Martin's novel. Her novel. Over a single summer, Sal will insert herself into Moira's life. Or is it the other way around? As Sal sifts through Martin's papers and learns more about Moira, she discovers the larger, ever-shifting story of not just one marriage but two, as she unravels the secret histories of those closest to Martin Keller. The Mythmakers is a seductive nesting doll of a book that grapples with perspective and memory, as well as the battles between creative ambition and love. It's a novel about the trials and tribulations of finding out who you are, and those moments when the trajectories of our lives are forever altered.
