SynopsisBecky Bloomwood has a fabulous 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. And lately Becky's been chased by dismal letters from the bank--letters with large red sums she can't bear to read. She tries cutting back. 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.

I love this book. A few years ago I lent my copy to someone who never returned it and I know I'll never get it back. I wanted the exact specific cover that I used to have that matches the rest of the series that I own. I thought I did my homework but the book that shipped wasn't the cover in the picture nor the one I thought I was getting based on the details provided. I'm so so disappointed but I'll keep the book and just suck it up because I do love the story. If you are wondering about the book and not just the cover art definitely purchase. It's fun and funny and a sweet read.
