Sophie Klein walks into a bar one Friday night and her life changes. She meets James Stephens: charismatic, elusive, and with a hosiery model ex who casts a long, thin shadow over their burgeoning relationship. Through Sophie's eyes we follow the affair as it develops from the excitement of a perfect first date into something deeper. James is clever, funny, has lots of money — plus he's tall AND has hair. Sophie's instinct tells her it's too good to be true — and it is. Pear Shaped explores love, heartbreak, depression, self-image, self-deception, weight and food. Lots of food. Inspired by Nora Ephron's Heartburn, it is in turns smart, laugh-out-loud funny and above all, recognizable to women everywhere.
