Mirabelle works behind the glove counter at Neiman Marcus and attracts the attention of an older gentleman who can introduce her to the finer things in life, though not necessarily 'happily ever after,'as well as that of a young man her own age who is more awkward and unsure than Mirabelle herself. While I enjoyed the book, I was more intrigued by Steve Martin's ability to create characters that seem so real and true. No one is really a hero here. Each character has very likeable and unlikeable moments. A great read.
