 | In the Drink by Kate Christensen
In Kate Christensen's amusing first novel, Claudia Steiner's life is going nowhere. She's involved in an unsatisfying romance while secretly in love with her friend William. She has no money. She drinks too much. She has a ridiculous job as secretary (and unsung ghostwriter) to a best-selling but mean, snobbish, and possibly insane writer; the job is bad enough: getting fired is worse. But when she does, she gradually begins to see her situation more clearly, and to understand what she wants from life and how to go about getting it. AUTHOR: Kate Christensen
