In the fabulous and intrigue-packed new
novel from Holly Peterson, the New York Times bestselling
author of THE MANNY, THE IDEA OF HIM
explores the dangers of falling for the idea of a person, and why facing
reality is more liberating than we ever dreamed it could be. For anyone who’s
let the fear of being alone keep them from seeing who someone really is,
THE IDEA OF HIM is an inspiring, action-packed story of what
happens when we embrace our own power and allow the truth to finally set us
free.

Allie Crawford has the life she always
dreamed of—she’s number two at a high-profile P.R. firm; she has two kids she
adores; and her husband is a blend of handsome and heroic. Wade is everything
she thought a man was supposed to be—he’s running a successful newsmagazine
and, best of all, he provides the stable yet exciting New York City life Allie
believes she needs in order to feel secure and happy.

But when Allie finds Wade locked in their
laundry room with a stunning blonde in snakeskin sandals, a scandal ensues that
flips her life on its head. And when the woman wants to befriend Allie, an old
flame calls, and a new guy gets a little too close for comfort, she starts to
think her marriage is more of a facade than something real. Maybe she’s fallen
in love not with Wade—but with the idea of him.

Captivating and seductive, told in the
whip-smart voice of a woman who is working hard to keep her parenting and
career on track, The Idea of Him is a
novel of conspiracy, intrigue, and intense passion—and discovering your
greatest strength through your deepest fears.

Praise for The
Manny:

“This is bestsellerland – the Manny isn’t one of
the popolo minuto. Nope, he’s an about-to-be-millionaire software developer
from a neocon background with hot buns and fab abs. Three guesses? A diverting spell in the world of
the greedy, The Manny is a genre-bender, sex and shopping and ambition and even
a tinge of socialism, and brilliant fun.”-Heatseeker
Reviews

“Peterson offers an amusing take on the mating
habits of the Manhattan elite. And while the story holds few surprises, it
benefits greatly from an attractive pair of would-be
lovers.”-Kirkus Review

“Phillip’s temper tantrums…are surprisingly
funny, and a subplot where Jamie chases a trashy but potentially career-making
story is strong.” – Publishers Weekly

“I leapt on The Manny and
devoured it in one sitting. It’s a riveting portrait of millionaires’ life on ‘The Grid’, full of eye-watering details. And it made me instantly want to hire
a male nanny…… for me!—Sophie Kinsella, author
of Shopaholic & Baby

“Holly Peterson writes about the rich with acute understanding
and a drop-dead eye for detail. The funniest, sexiest ride in the limo lane
since The Bonfire of the Vanities.”
—Tina Brown, author of The Diana
Chronicles
