So when her co-worker Karina invites her to join a group of women using vision boards to manifest their desires, she can''t resist the chance to hasten her romantic fate. However, as the vision boards seem to manifest items more quickly - and more literally - than Linda had expected, the carefully balanced elements of her life begin to spin out of her control, and she must choose between maintaining the trappings of normalcy or launching herself headlong towards her greatest dream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e''We can''t remember the last time we met a character this singular or read a book this funny''\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOPRAH''S BOOK CLUB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e''A dog whistle for the true freaks - never have I felt so seen!
