Amy has just lost her best friend to breast cancer. Amy's husband, not sorry the friend is out of the picture, is ready to start a family. But Amy is not. She's 29 and longing to escape her hometown of Phoenix. She's also hungry, because Amy's always hungry. She's on a "perpetual diet"! It's enough to make a person run away to, say, Paris. However, when Amy gets to France she is not only robbed, stalked, arrested, and almost kidnapped, she finds that her issues come right along with her. Rules for the Perpetual Diet is a suspenseful, moving, and at times hilarious novel about love, loss, motherhood, Paris, food, and finding yourself.
