OK, so I decided I would buy this book and read it because I have heard wonderful things about it and the movie comes out in January. As I am reading I am laughing so hard and am also feeling a little guilty at the same time. I think everyone goes through this phase of crazy spending, it just does not last very long. For me it was my second year in college. I was working full time and was going to school full time(16 credits, yikes). My first shiny credit card came in the mail and I lost control. Mind you I only had a $500 limit but I thought I was rich. I was spending, spending, spending and only making the minimum payment, I mean why would I pay it off every month. So yes this story does end bad. I stopped making payments and ignored my bills. In the end I had to pay $800 to settle my account. I was totally embarrassed and even more embarrassed that my parents had to help. I learned my lesson very early and so glad to not have to worry about that ever again. Then I read this book and I literally cannot put it down. I read it cover to cover in 4 hours. Loved it and can't wait for the movie. Take it for me this is a good one. I can't believe this Rebecca Bloomwood has this problem for years and never thinks twice about it. You just have to read it for yourself. So Good. I am so tempted to read the others and see if they are as good. Has anyone read this or the others?

My sophomore year was the problem year for that too. All I got was some jeans and I ordered some lingerie from victoria's secret - for what? I don't know - it was on sale for like 16 dollars and every girl's apartment has a copy of that catalog for some reason. Anyhow, my bill was only like 85 dollars but because of not paying it - a year later I owed 250.00 on it and Mike payed it for me before we got married. Welcome to your future Mike!
I did wear that lingerie after I got married so maybe it was worth the $250.00! We'd have to ask mike.
