Adele spends her day planning her wedding and dealing with one mishap after another. Chrissy handles the mundane jobs but wants more out of her experience.
The editor of the magazine announces a new column. One of the summer interns will be selected to write a monthly column, Savvy Girl. Chrissy wants the prized column more than anything.
As the summer unfolds, Chrissy's opportunity to write a stunning column gets sidetracked by far more glamorous opportunities. Jessica, the fashion editor, has taken a shine to Chrissy and keeps inviting her along to exciting parties and fashion events. Soon, Chrissy is forgetting plans she's made with her best friend, and coming home drunk.
When a mutual friend makes her realize that her best friend is pretty upset with her home life, Chrissy realizes that she's changed, and not for the better. The realization helps her write the Savvy Girl column she's been neglecting and helps her become the person she knows she should be.
Lynn Messina is best known for her Red Dress Ink adult romance novels; SAVVY GIRL is her first book for young adults. She's captured the uncertainty of a young adult beautifully. Chrissy is desperate to fit in at her high fashion intern job, but needs to realize that she's still a teenager and has a lot more to learn about life.
