A woman accidentally reveals all her secrets in this witty and charming novel from the author of Eight Perfect Hours.
Two years ago, thirty-year-old receptionist Millie Chandler had her heart spectacularly broken in public. Ever since, she has been a closed book, vowing to keep everything to herself—her feelings, her truths, even her dreams—in an effort to protect herself from getting hurt again.
But Millie does write emails—sarcastic replies to her rude boss, hard truths to her friends, and of course, that one-thousand-word love declaration to her ex who is now engaged to someone else. The emails live safely in her drafts, but after a server outage at work, Millie wakes up to discover that all her emails have been sent. Every. Single. One.
As every truth, lie, and secret she's worked so hard to keep only to herself are catapulted out into the open, Millie must fix the chaos her words have caused, and face everything she's ever swept under the carpet.
With her signature "tender and heartwarming" (Anstey Harris, author of When I First Held You) prose, Lia Louis presents another unforgettable and moving novel that is perfect for fans of Rebecca Serle and Emily Henry.

Louis (Eight Perfect Hours) delivers an entertaining contemporary centered on Millie Chandler, a receptionist who blows off steam by writing snarky emails she never intends to send. Then an apparent server glitch delivers all 107 of them to the people she was griping about, including her ex-fiancé (who is currently engaged to another one of their coworkers), and her work crush, Jack Shurlock, with whom she shared an almost-kiss at the office holiday party. Readers will panic right alongside Millie as she realizes what’s happened and cringe as she is forced to interact with those who now know her honest thoughts about them. As she attempts damage control and investigates why the draft emails got sent, Millie is forced to step out of her comfort zone and be truthful about her emotions and desires—including her feelings for Jack. While it’s easy to fault Millie for composing these missives on an office computer in the first place, Louis makes it equally easy to cheer her on as she attempts to clean up the mess. Funny, utterly relatable, and full of charm, Louis’s latest will delight existing fans and win her plenty of new ones.
