Martin's novella centres around a lonely wallflower working in the Neiman Marcus glove department, until a stranger drops in(with a pair of silver satin Diors) to add some intrigue

anyone who wants to read something offbeat, funny, or romantic.

I enjoyed virtually everything about this book; this is the story which got me started writing =)

I didn't like the fact that there's no sequel!

delve into more of Steve Martin's material, to see what else he has up his sleeve =)

"Shopgirl" is terrific for anyone who wants to read something offbeat, funny, or romantic.

is hilarious, as always, but he also captures the mind and soul of a woman at times quite accurately.

*As for my 'book length' rating, I gave "Shopgirl" a '3' because I did not want the story to end! 'Usefulness' also got a '3' because this book really has no use, except pure entertainment. In my opinion, it was far too short. . . .although the ending was satisfying and realistic.
