This was a really fun book. The main character is a bit ditzy at times and has a serious problem with binge spending. Her rationale is not the average. Besides that, the book had quite a few funny moments and great snide comments. The character reminds me so much of Sophie Kinsella's heroines.....just the American version. I read this book in one day because it kept me interested in the two mysteries that Haley was involved in with work. I liked the guys in her life. No bad apples. The ending made me smile because it left me with enough of a cliff-hanger to look forward to the next book in the series. I loved this book and couldn't put it down! It takes place during the Thanksgiving/Christmas season (which you would never know from the cover!) when the main character Haley takes a part time job at a department store for the holiday season. The book is like cozy mystery meets Confessions of a Shopaholic- it was funny, fast paced and really good! I will definitely read the others in this series.
Light, frothy fun. If you love handbags and a youthful protagonist, you'll love it!
