Yeah! Finally! The first great read of my Wisconsin vacation! It wasn't what I expected. I really grew attached to the main character, Casey, the daughter of Korean dry cleaners. Casey graduated from Princeton and still can't get her life straightened out. She wants to wear designer clothes and make her own hats, but she racks up a huge credit card debt. She splurges to fill emotional gaps in her life. What should she do with her life? The minor characters are well developed and make this 512 page novel quite the epic. I'm impressed by this debut novel.
Will high school kids like it? Most of mine won't, but maybe a few mature senior girls will pick it up.
