The idea of him : a novel / Holly Peterson. by Peterson, Holly. William Morrow Paperbacks, c2014. Call #: FICTION PET Subjects Married women -- Fiction.   Women public relations personnel -- Fiction.   Life change events -- Fiction.   Work-life balance -- Fiction.   Self-realization in women -- Fiction.   New York (N.Y.) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780062283108 (trade pbk.) 0062283103 (trade pbk.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  377 p. ; 21 cm. Summary:  "Mary Crawford is a once aspiring screenwriter turned successful public relations executive, mother of two young children, and wife of a hotshot magazine editor whose power base spans the worlds of finance, fashion, culture, entertainment, and society. At 34, she finds herself at a crossroads: between the office and her home, her life has become an endless rotation of people pleasing-whether pulling rabbits out of hats for her mogul boss, entertaining advertisers and phony A-listers for her husband's magazine, or making elaborate costumes for children's school plays. At least, that is, until she meets a head turning, traffic stopping beauty at the bar of the famed Four Seasons Grill Room-where many of the novel's players regularly convene-and shortly thereafter finds the same woman and her husband in an apparently compromising position in her own apartment. And so begins the wending story of two very different women bound by similar missions-to uncover the crimes and betrayals of various men in their lives and finally put their own interests front and center. For Mary this ultimately means leaving a husband who is ideal in theory but not in practice, and deciding to risk security for self-fulfillment and a new life on her own. Like so many women, Mary fell for the man she married when she was in her twenties only to realize years later that it wasn't him she fell for as much as it was the idea of him-the idea of a savior who would protect and provide and ferry her from her past into the future. But the guy who seemed so right at the time turned out to be nothing more than a fantasy."--Publisher. Genre:  Women's fiction.
