Juliet Montgomery is a pathological liar. She lies about everything from having an astronaut neurosurgeon boyfriend to speaking Dutch to being Ariana Grande’s perfume muse. As outlandish as her lies can be, it’s pretty clear they come from a deep desire for connection. So when she gets trashed one lonely night and barfs into a wishing fountain, she is thrilled to wake up the next day and discover her lies have become true! Suddenly she gets to live life as the person she’s always wished she was, only to realize it’s not the key to connection she thought it would be.
