"Everybody lies about their lives. What would happen if you shared the truth?"

This is the question that Julian Jessop, an eccentric, seventy-nine-year-old artist, poses within a pale green exercise book that he labels The Authenticity Project, before leaving it behind in Monica's Café.

When Monica discovers Julian's abandoned notebook, not only does she add her own story to the book, she is determined to find a way to help Julian feel less lonely.

And so it goes with the others who find the green notebook, who take their turn sharing their deepest selves and discovering the thrill and risks of being completely honest--and, for some, finding love in unexpected places.
