Quotes
-
“Fascinating…Monroe’s psychological study centers on a woman who tries to become someone else, with almost tragic results. The theme of identity theft is serious, and Trudy is a woman making a lot of bad choices. But somehow she is a sympathetic person who deserves to survive and come out ahead.”
— RT Book Reviews -
“[A] page-turner about human frailties.”
— Booklist -
“Narrated by Trudy in girlfriend-to-girlfriend style, Monroe’s latest deals with race, class, and gender issues, which makes it more than just a cautionary tale about identity theft…Recommended.”

" This book is the story of a young lady who is hired at a travel agency and has access to her supervisor's company credit cards and uses them to her benefit. It shows how a person can really get caught up with money. It was okay. "

" Great book! But I felt that the ending missed the target. I was all riled up and then it just ended with no "spark". But engaging story nonetheless! "
