Good thing she has the sort of job where fib-telling is what she does, really-marketing things like sports drinks and energy bars and petroleum products requires the truth to be bent just a teeny-weeny bit, doesn’t it? And when she realizes, thanks to an elderly relative, that the energy bars don’t stick to dentures, she comes up with a simply brilliant idea that just might land her that big promotion! Maybe she’ll buy that smart new suit after all. He’s not really listening, is he? Oh, dear, what a dreadful pickle Emma gets herself into! As luck would have it, the handsome stranger, Jack Harper, turns out to be her new boss! “Look at him! He’s got limos and flunkies, and a great, big important company that makes millions every year!” Whatever will Emma do? Blush, simper, and have a little vodka-though she doesn’t seem old enough to drink without a sippy cup and a pink-kitten-printed bib. Yes, the list of endearing fibs is long and equally trivial, but she confesses most of it to a business-suited American on a plane. Just between us superannuated schoolgirls, she hasn’t the faintest idea what NATO is, and she has never, ever told her boyfriend Connor that she actually weighs 128 pounds, not 118. The author of the Shopaholic trilogy ( Shopaholic Ties the Knot, 2002, etc.) runs out of ideas.Įmma Corrigan, a heroine who seems about 11 years old, has a few giggly little secrets.
