This was charming and darling (charling? darming?) and went by like a flash. It can't get any better than a "Clueless"-type girl with a friend named Arugula, can it? This is light and fluffy and totally entertaining. No, it's not heavy with deep spiritual meaning, but the great thing is it DOES have a moral, it does encourage the reader to consider the consequences of her actions, and it does have a happy ending.

It also has some hilarious lines, misunderstandings, evil plans that went into effect before other things happened, stilettos, and a band named "Mental Hygienist". Plus, it was not only clean but made me sniffly near the end. How could you not love it?

I'll be buying copies of this for at least 2 of the nieces' birthdays.
