Have sent to Nokturnalmuse in trade - will put in mail today
Received in trade from Bkind2books. Thanks again!
I enjoyed this - it's a lot like Shopaholic - written in the same tone of voice and style, but it was a fun read. I really liked the "hero" in the novel and the relationship story. I noticed that Emma is noticeably less materialistic than Becky Bloomwood - she emphasizes several times that she buys her designer clothes secondhand - I can't help wondering if SK got a lot of flack about that aspect of Becky's character and overcompensated here. But I think this makes Emma more likeable than Becky as a "heroine".
