I wasn't 100% sure I really wanted to read this book, but I'm really glad I did. While my heart broke for Emma every time she was rejected or picked on, I also loved the humor in the story. Emma's grandmother is a hoot, although the mixed metaphors did get a little old after a while. Overall though, fantasic read. ( )

This book makes for a great beach read! Too bad I don't live near one. Fear not, I also believe this book makes a great weekend read, or a great car-ride read,... etc.

There is no mystery here. From the beginning, the basis of the story is well laid out (pun intended). Emma Jamison (the heroine) is falsely blamed for an international incident, and it behooves no one in charge to exonerate her. Thus, she is living a life that only the instantly infamous celebrity would understand (think Monica Lewinsky or Camilla Parker Bowles). Even after months of time passing, a move to be close to her only living relative, and a new occupation, Emma knows no peace.

Ms. Wells does an excellent job conveying the futility of her situation, and the effect it has on all those she comes in contact with. Add to this storyline, a grandmother who lives life fearlessly with her octogenarian "boyfriend", and Emma's developing interest in the "boyfriend's" grandson; a man who ironically can ill afford to receive any adverse publicity.

Enough information. You just need to read it.

P.S.This is the first book I have read, written by this author, and it won't be the last. ( )
