When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Go Shopping
When her father dies of cancer and her boyfriend Jasper unceremoniously dumps her - by fax - perhaps not surprisingly, America Throne temporarily loses the will to live. She descends into a self-destructive cycle of bitter recriminations and increasingly threatening phone calls to her recalcitrant ex.
Luckily her rather more practical best friend, Sadie, is on hand to kick America out of the rut and back into shape, via lots of Earl Grey tea, some gratuitous sex and the timely application of some home-made yoghurt. This being California, America's journey back to wholeness involves some not entirely conventional twists and turns.
This book is a trip to the wilder shores of West Coast weirdness, infused with engaging wit and exhilarating emotional honesty.
