Showing results for "Girl" in Satire

Twenty-five-year-old rookie Repo Agent, Andrea Sloan, doesn't like accepting help from anyone - especially not arrogant musicians who are too charming for their own good. Even though she swore off men years ago, Andi finds herself drawn to handsome rockstar, Cooper Barnett, as he continually pops up in her life when she least expects it. Their budding relationship becomes even more complicated when Cooper talks Andi into letting him ride-along on one of her repos, and they come across a very naked, very dead body.

Back home after her life changing moment at Frogham train station, it seems that Alison's life is looking up, and there's even a possibility of romance on the horizon. Maybe she can finally stop lying. But it's not very long before it all starts to go wrong, and when Alison makes an enemy of Blake's new girlfriend, she decides it's time to get herself a proper job and make something of herself.

The hated house of her childhood has been sold, and Alison now has a smart new apartment and a new, exciting career. Everything, in fact, that she’s ever dreamed of. Mother is but a sad and miserable memory. Life is good, life is slim. But then it all starts to go horribly wrong...again, and Alison has to ask herself - is it her? She’s trying her very best to be a good person, but it’s harder than she thought it would be and, if she’s honest, which she’s mostly not; it’s a bit boring. Is she more like Mother than she’d care to admit?

Wilhemina 'Billie' Bennett, red-haired daughter of an American millionaire, loves golf, dogs, and Tennyson ¿ and is to marry Eustace Hignett, the weak, poetry-writing son of a famous English writer on theosophy. Enter San Marlowe, Eustace's tournament golfing cousin, and Jane Hubbard, Billie's big-game-hunting friend, and another romp in the inimitable Wodehouse style unfolds.

Has she gone too far this time? It's all gone horribly wrong and the worst has happened.Alison is in deep, deep trouble and no amount of lies are helping. Forgetting the first rule of lying, she's protesting her innocence but no one will believe a word she says no matter how hard she lies. Mother's dark prophecy that she'd get what she deserves haunts her as she contemplates the best years of her life behind bars.

Fat and friendless, carer to her mother by day and a secret binge eater by night, 28-year-old Alison hates her life. She feels powerless to help herself until one day she encounters the person she would like to be and determines to transform herself. Admiration soon turns to obsession, and as Alison loses weight she discovers she’s capable of things she never imagined. Will she get the life she desires or the life she deserves?

Life was going well for 25-year-old repo agent Andrea Sloan. She hadn't stumbled across any more naked dead guys at work, and her love life was pretty much wonderful. When she picked up a part-time job working at the mall for some extra cash as an elf, she never imagined she'd witness Santa gunned down in the parking lot. Just like that, Andi became tangled with friends and foes from her past in a race to find Santa's stolen bag of cash before Christmas.
