I was easily able to visualize Veronica's "second home". As for the protagonist Veronica, I tried to empathize with her because of her cruel uncle but I just couldn't quite get that feeling going. At one point Dr. Landy calls her out and says (in my own words) that some unfortunate individual could have used the scholarship Veronica was on, as she, a multi-millionaire, was more than able to afford her own tuition. I totally agreed with him. Ms. Vargas created characters that were well thought out and extremely life-like, eliciting different emotions in me while I was reading the book. That's good writing for you! Alas, I did find some grammatical errors and to my knowledge this was not an ARC. I only gave the book 3 stars because although I did enjoy it I just found it kind of 'bland'. Veronica (nee Mary) doesn't really go through any monumental adventures (although her relationship with Branden does contain most of her highlights), just ordinary young adult high-jinks and mistakes.

Where do you go when you disappear? For young heiress Mary Fait, the answer is New Orleans. After the death of her parents, she is placed in the care of her alcoholic uncle. For years, she assists her uncle in growing the family empire, all the while plotting his demise and / or her escape. A college scholarship gives her the opportunity to break free of her life to start a new one - under a new name. Follow Mary and her often hilarious misadventures in the early 1990s while attending college in a small town in Louisiana. The story reads as a series of diary entries which chronicle the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of the main character during this time in her life. The novels title refers to a cajun restaurant in which the main character works as a waitress. The colorful descriptions of the town of Bayou Bend, the college, its inhabitants and the surrounding areas paint a vivid and amusing tale of life in the South.
