Jane Desmond would do anything for her best friend. That’s the problem.

Jane Desmond’s devoted to her best friend Thea. How could she not be? Thea—a commander in any crisis—has saved Jane’s keister countless times since childhood. Though Thea’s not the type to keep score, Jane knows she owes Thea. Seriously.

A few days after closing on her dream home, Thea’s world is upended when she’s fired from her job. With foreclosure looming and Thea melting down, Jane spots her chance to finally save the day. She vaults into action, but her good intentions backfire, and Jane soon discovers Thea’s been keeping secrets from her. In order to save the friendship, something's got to change. It just isn't what Jane expected it would be...

"I'll Know Me When I Find Me is a big-hearted debut that cuts right to the quick of contemporary work-life malaise and the age-old struggle to love friends well without overstepping boundaries. With a sharp wit, effervescent prose, and characters so real it almost hurts, Helen Darling delivers a hilarious, heartfelt, and perceptive take on modern friendship and ambition."

Reseña del editor

Jane Desmond would go to any length to help her best friend. That's the problem.

Jane Desmond feels like a failure. Sure, she has a good job and a roof over her head, but nothing else seems to ever go her way. Unwanted attention from an infatuated coworker and meddlesome matchmaking from her mother has her professional and social life in tatters.

When her best friend Thea loses her job a few days after purchasing her dream home, Jane steps in to help. But when her good intentions backfire, she realizes she’ll need to make a few sacrifices to find happiness for both of them. Before Jane can follow her dreams, she may just need to risk everything she knows...

I’ll Know Me When I Find Me is a novel for the modern, career-minded woman. If you like well-rounded characters, relatable situations, and energetic prose, then you’ll love this women’s fiction tale of self-discovery from Helen J. Darling.
