Becky Bloomwood has what most twenty-five-year-olds only dream of: a
flat in London's trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous
socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the season's must-haves.
The only trouble is, she can't actually afford it--not any of it. Her
job writing at Successful Saving magazine not only bores her to
tears, it doesn't pay much at all. Still, how can she resist that
perfect pair of shoes? Or the divine silk blouse in the window of that
ultra-trendy boutique? But lately Becky's been chased by dismal letters
from Visa and the Endwich Bank--letters with large red sums she can't
bear to read-and they're getting ever harder to ignore. She tries
cutting back; she even tries making more money. But none of her efforts
succeeds. Her only consolation is to buy herself something ... just a
little something...
Finally, a story arises that Becky actually
cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of events
that will transform her life and the lives of those around
her--forever.
