How often we think that other people’s lives are brighter and more interesting than ours.
For Penelope, everything is ordinary: an ordinary family and an ordinary job.
But she has an example to follow—her friend Jenny is good at literally everything. She has a handsome husband and a daughter, a wonderful home, and an excellent job. Jenny is strong of spirit and always ready to support.
Penelope secretly dreams of being just as bright as Jenny, loving her husband a little more intensely—and becoming a famous children’s book writer. But when Jenny dies from an accidental overdose of medicines (accidental… maybe?), Penelope discovers a completely new side of life—her friend’s life. It will help her see herself and her outwardly lucky acquaintances critically, without rose-colored glasses.
