Twenty-something Liberty (Libby) Lawrence has a passion for fashion, a penchant for shoes and an uncanny knack of finding trouble! Libby's new job as a reporter for the Daily Chronicle is proving quite challenging for the following reasons: Number 1: Her mentor, Dave Chandler, likes to run everywhere which means she has to do the same. Her Karen Millens are already ruined and her new Kurt Geigers are heading the same way. Everyone else gets to take taxis or the Tube. Surely that counts as discrimination or something? Number 2: None of the girls in the news room seem to like her-even though they've never even met her! It's just plain rude-and very hurtful! And Number 3: Dave Chandler is a bit odd-and that's without the running thing. He's very proud of all his trophies and awards but won't help Libby get any. He won't divulge who his contacts are-although some of them sound a bit iffy-and he keeps sneaking off without her despite the fact she's supposed to be shadowing him. Cassie Beaumont, her bestie and flatmate, is doing really well in her new job, which only makes Libby feel worse about her own. Cassie and Rob are also really close, which is how Libby wants to be with James Harper-she fancies the pants off him- but he seems very distracted. She realises it's time for sorting out her life and stepping it up-in more ways than one!
