Unforgettable characters and inescapable truths
Candice Kelly is a modern woman who no longer knows where she’s heading. Or what she wants from life. Or who she is.
After she believes she’s “failed” a simple personality test at a personal development day, there’s only one conclusion to make:

In looking for herself, Candice lets us in on her hilariously quirky world of friendship and family, of laughter and love, and of the tough decisions that face us all about our ambitions for life.
