Nick bought a diamond symbol of forever, got down on one knee, and expected to welcome the New Year with his fianc e in his arms. Instead, his girlfriend's bombshell confession left him humiliated, alone, and distrustful. Can meeting a shy barista named Alli make Nick's heart open again?

Although socially awkward and na ve, Alli has both secrets and dreams. Her ambition, drive, and talent as a singer/songwriter could make her the next Taylor Swift.

Alli, with no experience of big-city life, dives into Boston's indie music scene, but Nick fears the motives of a man who offers her help. Can their relationship survive Nick's jealousy and Alli's secrets?

Enthusiastic reviewers have called Not Famous a "brilliant, uplifting debut novel" for its "pitch-perfect story" and "well-developed characters that ... tug at the heartstrings."
