Not Just the Blues by Claire O'brien
One day, I, Cordelia Codd, will be glamorous. I will take taxis everywhere, have an absurd-looking little dog, and Wednesdays will be manicure day. But for now, I'm stuck with: a totally un-glamorous school bus chauffeur, two mean EX-best friends, a 50% reduction in parents, and cat litter Fridays. Did I tell you how utterly ridiculous my life is...?
