I was given a rare and wonderful little plant called a Pilea. Apparently it is pretty easy to grow, and is quick and easy to propagate, yet it’s rare and hard to find (so I am told). He looks like something Dr. Seuss would imagine. This should be a fun little plant to play with. No, not play like a game of catch. More like a game of “Let’s Try Not To kill It Today”, sort of game. When I got him he already looked like he was having a rough day. He had spent a good portion of the morning rolling around under the driver’s seat of an SUV. He lived, so he gets points for that. I will also give him points for already having a few little sprouts that I can propagate. I will leave him be for now and let him get acclimated to his new surroundings before I harass him too much. I put him next to a Stag-horn fern, that for some miracle I have not killed yet either.

Thirty-year-old Allie Treadwell is a singleton. She’s a foodie and a runner, a restaurant reviewer by day, and a Netflix aficionado by night. She lives to eat and eats to live.
But Allie’s latest review is plaguing her with guilt. How was she to know that the restaurant’s owner, her one-time high school nemesis, would die the same day Allie’s salty review hit the newsstand?

As Allie works to clear his name, and hers, she learns that dodging bad press might be the hardest thing of all. And one false step could put the real killer onto her.
