The writing is good. Lots of witty, quippy bits. The editing is almost perfect.This book does an excellent job of humanizing the homeless. Sort of. The secondary characters who happened to be homeless also happened to be the most sympathetic, effective and realistic characters in the bookHowever, once again Camilla Randall is a helpless character saved by her friends and her royalties-ex-machina. She spends half the book flailing about and worrying about her situation.The other half of the book is occupied by the other female main character, Doria Windsor. Doria spends her half of the book flailing about and worrying about her situation. She makes plans for action but never really acts.The plot was somewhat obvious, but could have been worse. Not a strong female character in sight. Not for me.From other reviews, it seems this was supposed to be a comedy? It was amusing but the primary characters (male and female) were terrible not so tragic they were absurdly funny. I couldn't relate to them nor even delight in their tragedy because I just didn't care - your mileage may vary.
