Eighteen-year-old waitress Indigo SkyeтАЩs life is upended when a mysterious man leaves her a multi-million-dollar tip in this funny and moving novel by Printz Honor medal winner and National Book Award finalist Deb Caletti.
I suddenly see where IтАЩm standing, and thatтАЩs at the edge of changeтАФreally, really big change.
Eighteen-year-old Indigo Skye feels like she has it allтАФa waitress job she loves, an adorable refrigerator-delivery-guy boyfriend, and a home life thatтАЩs slightly overwhelming but rich in love. Until a mysterious man at the restaurant leaves her a 2.5 million-dollar tip, and her life as she knew it is transformed.
At first itтАЩs amazing: a hot new car, enormous flat-screen TV, and presents for everyone she cares about. She laughs off the warnings that money changes people, that they come to rely on what they have instead of who they are. Because it wonтАЩt happenтАжnot to her. Or will it? What do you do when you can buy anything your heart desiresтАФbut what your heart desires canтАЩt be bought?
This is the story of a girl who gets rich, gets lost, and ultimately finds her way backтАФif not to where she started, then to where she can start again.
