Award-winning author and LA native, Susie Orman Schnall, has done it again

Her new novel The Balance Project (http://www.susieschnall.com/the-balance-project/) is out, and I highly recommend it because it’s about something we all talk about: work-life balance. The Balance Project explores the issue of having it all from the perspectives of a 25-year-old single woman and her successful, married, mother-of-two boss. The Balance Project is a fun, engaging story of loyalty, choices, and balance that will resonate deeply with all women who struggle with this hot-button issue. Bestselling author Kristin Harmel said of the novel: “If you liked The Devil Wears Prada, you’ll enjoy this charming romp.”
