Diana Rainville, a twenty-one year old recent university graduate and recluse, has two goals in life: to become independent of her controlling father and to find the mother who abandoned her at birth. After a fruitless search for employment, Diana asks her father for an entry level position in his digital media company. Her first project leads her to Ron Pearl, a high school acquaintance caring for his dying mother and carrying a mortgage. The renewed friendship forces Diana out of her self-imposed isolation and into deep human interaction. She comes face to face with the friend she betrayed, she fights for a romance that might not make it past the first date, and she discovers that her father is the one who kept her apart from her mother. Surrounded by people who seem to have life figured out, Diana must chose between living the life others want her to lead or the life she desires.

Welcome to the world of indecisive, independent Lucy Wallis, who suddenly learns her comfortable-if-dull life isn't quite as comfortable or dull as she thought. When her uninspiring boyfriend Dan misunderstands her maybe-we-should-break-up talk and confesses to “accidental” sex with his ex, Lucy has a tough decision to make. Can she forgive him? (And does she even want to?) Before she can figure things out, chance encounters with a friend's hunky cousin (all tanned, muscled, and emotionally charged from a stint in the Peace Corps) and a foxy Irish movie star (who may or may not be completely full of blarney) add frustratingly exciting complications. Unfortunately Lucy's never been good at making up her mind. If she's going to make the right choices – or at least have fun trying – she's going to need some help navigating the weird streets of San Francisco, and the even trickier romantic terrain of cheating, dating, and one-night-stands. LUCY WALLIS MAKES UP HER MIND is an interactive contemporary romance that lets the reader decide what Lucy should do, from her first big decision – to break up or not to break up? – to one of 12 possible endings with three different men. Can make-up sex with Dan make her forget his infidelity? Can she resist the none-too-subtle advances of the philanthropic hottie? Will her long-time cinematic crush be charmed by her nervous babbling and fall into her arms? Most importantly, will Lucy finally find the spark she's been missing?
