Remember that girl who stole your boyfriend?

Karen Bergreen

Following Polly by Karen Bergreen
     Apparently graduating from Harvard does not guarantee one a job. Protagonist Alice Teakle is a likable oddball, unemployed and without a boyfriend or a life plan. Because she has nothing better to do, she decides to follow a fellow Harvard class-mate, Polly Linley Dawson. Polly is a highly successful lingerie designer and married to a powerful film director. Polly has achieved everything Alice has not. Following Polly leads Alice to charges of murder, being on the lam, becoming temporarily homeless, and falling in love. The author, Karen Bergreen, was previously an attorney who now does stand-up comedy. This is her first book and lots of fun.
