Hello Little Lady

I finished "The Little Lady Agency" by Hester Browne on the plane back from Florida and promptly began the second, "Little Lady, Big Apple".

The Little Lady Agency is about a woman with a very selfish family who gets "sacked" (that is fired in American) from her third job in 18 months. She has to find a new job before her overbearing father rubs it in her face again that she can't find a good job. After helping out her flatmate, she ends up starting her own business, The Little Lady Agency, that is basically a nanny service for grown men. She helps them shop for themselves and others and pretends to be a girlfriend for demanding family. And of course, she falls for one of her clients.

The second book has her traveling to New York. I'm about a third of the way through and she has just landed in New York. This quote (Melissa referring to her father) is one of the reason's I like Hester Browne. "Dogs small enough to fit into a handbag, as far as he was concerned, might as well be cats."
