My heart hurt for her when I realized just how confining her childhood must have been as her father waited for her to show signs of her mother’s illness. To have them love her for Kat-not Kathleen the heiress. I enjoyed watching her emerge from her shell and learning to accept that everyone makes mistakes and it’s okay to screw up. She is a bit of a martyr though once you get to know her childhood you can see why. I liked Kat but it was hard to relate to her.

In here, she sheds that persona slowly and the real Kat emerges. The previous books in the series has shown Kat as rather quiet and mild-mannered. She eventually cleaned herself up, got her GED, and works as an executive assistant while going for her degree in business while taking care of her parents’ company. She ran away at age fifteen in an effort to be seen and got caught up in drugs and stealing. Both her parents are incapacitated from mental illness- her mother suffers from schizophrenia and her father suffers from Alzheimer’s. Kat aka Kathleen has not had an easy life despite her wealth.

Her characters are delightfully flawed and crafted with just the right amount of realism to allow for the reader to easily connect with them. These comedic contemporaries blend outrageous humor, eccentric characters, and sexy, crazy plots to produce an addictive story you won’t want to put down.
