Do you ever feel like you don't fit in? That if you run away changed your life and situation life will go so much better? Well as Ellis Eton finds out life is not that simple. She is failing college, trying to avoid being "pinned"( an old tradition where boys in Fraternities would give their house pins to a girl they wanted as their girlfriend, and trying to earn enough money to go to Hollywood and become an actress. A friend asks her to take over her job as a "Hello Girl" for a few weeks so she can bury her mother. As Ellis pretends to be Jainie she overhears a conversation while transferring a call that leads her into a world of speakeasies, and police and political corruption all in an effort to save her friend Griff from being murdered. Along the way she ponders the question of prohibition and the law and why people break the law. I enjoyed this book and it made me laugh out loud several times as my family can testify to.
Have a good read, Nina
