Floundering, and unable to complete her manuscript, Allie runs into her ex and his new fiancee, and is stunned by her spectacular engagement ring, which on its own, outshines all six of the rings he’d given Allie.

Will Allie sell out before she’s really even begun? All of these questions and more will be answered as you laugh and cry along with Allie in Falling Down Girl.
