Changes

Anyway, it's a story about Nina, whose seemingly fabulous, successful life begins to show cracks until it disintegrates around her in spectacular fashion. She goes from almost having everything to having nothing at all and winds up living in a dark, foreboding old house she names 'The Temple of Gloom'. Somehow, in the midst of fighting off spiders, starvation and the strange vampire living upstairs she discovers who she really is, or rather who she wants to be. The truth slowly reveals itself, about Nina, and about her friends and family. This is chick lit with brains, in a good way, and totally worth ditching all familial responsibilities to read it through right to the very last page.

Further reading suggestion: For more well-written chick lit you can't go wrong with [[Wedding Season by Katie Fforde]] or [[Anybody Out There? by Marian Keyes]].
