    About this ebook

    When Moxie Brecker chose her kicky nickname back in college, it suited her perfectly. But now she feels it's one big misnomer. After graduation, she set out to command her own seventh-grade science class and was stunned to find the job too challenging. She didn't have the energy necessary to get a roomful of pre-teens excited about atoms, and she never felt like herself, so she handed in her chalk and lesson plans. Stumped about where to turn next, she followed the advice of her best friend Gerard and took a job folding underthings at the chain lingerie store in the mall.

    She's got plenty at home to distract her, including her neighbor, Steven Tyler (no, not that Stephen Tyler) and the kindly septuagenarian Joe, who runs the joke shop downstairs, but she spends her days languishing in the store. Though she feels tired and just out of it physically, she still gets bored steaming peignoir sets, protecting the thong table from shoplifters, and readjusting bras straps for hours on end. Maybe that's why, when a handsome guy named Allan starts hanging around the store for little chats, Moxie sees hope on the horizon. Maybe, just maybe, her employee discount won't go to waste for much longer…

      No Thanks, I’m Just Looking…

      Aug 18, 2022

      I’d like to think I’m a fairly well-mannered person: I say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’, hold doors for people, put the neighbours’ bins out when they’re away, never sing the national anthem at full volume in the middle of the library, and generally foll

      I was in the tire shop’s waiting area, thumbing through an old magazine, when the wizened old lady coming in the door stopped like she’d been hit in the face with a mop. “Well! I never!” she said, and gave me a look that could have curdled milk. Then

      It was gute but did not fully hold my attention
    • 5/5
      Read it. A young woman overemployed in a lingerie store, struggles with an unexplained illness, while wondering about the flirtatious customer who frequently stops by. And what of her next door neighbor, Steven Tyler, who receives packages for the adoring fans of the other Steven Tyler? What's his story?Eugénie rocks. In real life too. She's my boss and friend, but I'd recommend her books regardless. This one is number two of three. Keep your eyes on this woman. She's on her way up the charts!
