Review: Shopgirl

Shopgirl by Steve Martin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 out of 5 stars - If you ask me, I'll tell you to read it

This story is about a young lady, Mirabelle, who sells gloves at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills. She struggles with depression and, as such, relationships. She meets Jason at a laundromat and she meets Ray when she sells him some gloves. The rest of the story is about her relationship with the men, her mental health, her art, and her family.

I thought it was interesting how well Steve Martin was able to weave the feelings of depression so well into the story without making it feel sad and depressing.
