Becky Bloomwood has what most twenty-five-year-olds only dream of: a flat in London's trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the season's must-haves. The ony trubelis, she can't actually afford it - not any of it. Her job at writing Successful Saving magazine not only bores her to tears, it doesn't pay much at all. Still, how can one resist that perfect pair of shoes? Or the divine silk blouse in the window of that ultra-trendy boutique? But lately Becky's been chased by the dismal letters from Visa and the Endwich Bank - letters with large red sums she can't bear to read - and they're getting even harder to ignore. She tries cutting back; she even tries making more money. But none of her efforts succeed. Her only consolation is to buy something... just a little something...
Finally, a story arises that Becky actually cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of events that will transform her life - and the lives of those around her - forever.
