Stephanie Bond

I had to force myself to finish this, and I wasn't sure I would continue the series, but I think I will. I read about Carlotta in Party Crashers, and I wasn't sure whether to like her then. I'm still not entirely sure. I don't want a perfect heroine, but it's kind of annoying to read about someone who makes the wrong decision at every opportunity. Carlotta and Wesley both.

Her journey of becoming rich overnight, family she didn't know about crawling out of the woodwork, being sued by coworkers, and having two men interested in her not for the money. The book journeys the ups and downs. I didn't care for this one like the other daily serials that Bond writes. The main character was weak willed, whiny, & a poor decision maker… (plus d'informations)
