"Enjoyable chick-lit."

Nan Cloutier is a temp girl. Her job requires her to don costumes and hand out candy in department stores, or perform some other function, such as elf for the department store Santa. She wants a stable career as much as the next liberal arts major. Of course, she also wants a stable relationship, something else she hasn't had much luck at. But that was before she met Colm, the grandson of the department store owner. Is Colm really what she wants, or is she just looking for something different?

CALENDAR GIRL is a look at life from the single woman's perspective in Manhattan. I enjoyed the story, especially Nan's take on job descriptions. It wasn't as hard to put down as some of the suspense stories I've read, but the characters are great, most especially Nan's family. A good book to curl up with on a winter's day, hot chocolate at hand. A good read.
