Very entertaining story about Rosie, a fiesty 18 year old, who looks after her grandfather's Mercedes & mobile phone while he is in prison. She soon discovers that as well as running a few shady deals, her grandfather has been acting as a chauffer to lots of old people in the area, and Rosie is expected to fill in for him. She meets all sorts of wonderful eccentric characters in her travels, as well as 2 boys - Todd (the charming yet boring good guy) and Chris ( the gorgeous yet full of himself bad boy)and falls for both. But there is also something sinister happening too - her grandfather is accused of having a very expensive missing diamond ring and its up to Rosie and her best friend Glenda ( aka Giselle the stripper) to sort out show more what is going on. Fun stuff! show less
