Eighteen-year-old waitress Indigo Skyeās 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 Iām standing, and thatās at the edge of changeāreally, really big change.
Eighteen-year-old Indigo Skye feels like she has it allāa waitress job she loves, an adorable refrigerator-delivery-guy boyfriend, and a home life thatās 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 itās 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 wonāt happenā¦not to her. Or will it? What do you do when you can buy anything your heart desiresābut what your heart desires canāt be bought?
This is the story of a girl who gets rich, gets lost, and ultimately finds her way backāif not to where she started, then to where she can start again.
