Meternity

<p> <strong>Not quite knocked up… </strong> </p> <p>Like everyone in New York media editor Liz Buckley runs on cupcakes caffeine and cocktails. But at thirty-one she's plateaued at glossy baby magazine Paddy Cakes.</p> <p>Liz has spent years working a gazillion hours a week picking up the slack for colleagues with children and she's tired of it. So one day when her stress-related nausea is mistaken for morning sickness by her bosses—boom! Liz is promoted to the mummy track. She decides to run with it and plans to use her paid time off to figure out her life: work love and otherwise. It'll be her ‘meternity’ leave.</p> <p>By day Liz rocks a foam-rubber belly under fab maternity outfits. By night she dumps the bump for karaoke and boozy dinners out. But how long can she keep up her charade…and hide it from the guy who might just be The One?</p> <p>As her ‘due date’ approaches Liz is exhausted—and exhilarated—by the ruse the guilt and the feelings brought on by a totally fictional belly-tenant…about happiness success family and the nature of love.</p>
