Publisher's Synopsis
Bad Girl Pie is a dark comedy set in New York City. Dorothy Sherlock, a prolific ghostwriter, shares her running commentary on the absurdity of the human condition as she navigates her future. Until now, she's spent her life crafting other people's success stories and mourning a failed romance. After a near-fatal encounter with her abusive father and his sudden death, Dorothy resolves to write her own book, blending her expertise in dieting and dessert. A whirlwind trip to a tango festival in Mexico reignites her passion for love through a romantic tryst with a tango-dancing firefighter.
Hopeful and happy, Dorothy returns home, only to discover that her agent has stolen the manuscript and sold it to a new client, and her late father has cut her out of his will. As if this weren't enough, Dorothy reconnects with her ex-boyfriend, but after a night of bliss, she finds out that he's living in sin with his cleaning lady. The triple whammy drives her to despair. Can Dorothy's sense of humor and talent save her and help her find success?
