{"product_id":"9780743436700","title":"Second Draft of My Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eForty-two years and five books into her life, Charlotte Dearborn abandons her noncommittal boyfriend and her sinking-ship writing career, and becomes an elementary school teacher. Sure, she's giving up her dream of being a famous novelist, but in exchange she'll find a stable income, job satisfaction, and maybe even love. At least that's how it'd work if she were a character in one of her novels. In real life, she's busy coping with twenty yelling first-graders, a teacher's lounge full of nasty coworkers, and a series of romantic misadventures that fall far, far short of the real thing. \u003cbr\u003e Charlotte's struggle to navigate the waters of a new career, a new single life, and the loss of her identity as a writer make \u003ci\u003eSecond Draft of My Life\u003c\/i\u003e a funny, compulsively readable gem. From an author \u003ci\u003eThe Boston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e applauded as \"very, very good on the business of falling in and out of love,\" it is part romantic comedy, part manual for living, and wholly triumphant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Washington Square Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47025428431088,"sku":"9780743436700","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780743436700_p0.jpg?v=1763632304","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780743436700","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
