Cracking open My Life in Loubies in Los Angeles did not have the same effect it did as I perched my sore feet on a rock in Central Park to finish the New York-based novel. As a 20-something young woman with serious shopaholic tendencies, it is easy to relate to Vanessa, a New Yorker who thinks she’s got it all — the perfect boyfriend, a thriving company, a loyal best friend, and a closet filled with designer fashions. Little does she know, that her perfect world would come crashing down.

Author Erica Negi, creates a witty and morally endearing tale where one woman finds solace in a man who provides her with everything she ever wanted — or thought she wanted. Could her lack of financial control, her disconnect from a life she once lived, and her drive to fit in with the upper crust of society, leave her feeling lost and more alone than she was among a crowd of 20 million in New York?

Vanessa’s struggle to find herself and rebuild her life is a modern twist on the Cinderella myth, where she learns that money can not buy true happiness (even though it can fill an immense shoe closet). Ultimately, while she may not be able to live a lavish Louboutin-filled life, she continues to live a rich life, surrounded by family, friends, and career success.
