    Summary: 
    "At thirty-five, Mika's life resembles a late-stage Jenga tower. Her last relationship ended in flames. Her roommate-slash-best friend might be a hoarder. She's a perpetual disappointment to her traditional Japanese parents. And, most recently, she's been fired from her latest dead-end job. Everything changes when she receives a phone call from Penny, the daughter she placed for adoption sixteen years ago. Deep down Mika longs to be a women, a mother, that Penny admires. Faced with her own inadequacies, Mika embellishes a teeny-tiny fact about her life. But what starts as a seemingly harmless tiny white lie slowly snowballs into a fully-fledged fake existence, one where Mika is mature, put-together, successful in love and her career. The details of Mika's life are an illusion, everything she shares with Penny is real: her hopes, dreams, flaws, and Japanese heritage. The harder-won heart belongs to Thomas Calvin, Penny's adoptive widower father. Their relationship starts out rocky and contentious but slowly blossoms into a friendship and, over time, something more.... But can Mika really have it all: love, her daughter, the life she's always wanted? Or will Mika's deceptions ultimately catch up to her? Ultimately, Mika must face the truth-- about herself, her family, and her past--and answer the question, Just who is Mika in real life?"-- Publisher.
