Erin's been living the cushy life of the stereotypical Manhattanite. She's got the quasi glamorous marketing job, and reaps the benefits such as fancy dinners at numerous glam restaurants with the faceless waiters who all blend into one another. Until one day, it's all taken away. Her firm downsizes and she's one of the casualties. Suddenly, she's jobless and the prospects seem pretty grim.

Her dad's golf buddy, liquor distributer Harold, says he can get her a job at Roulette, a glitzy restaurant not unlike those she frequented. He's padded her resume a bit to his clients who agree to hire her. Her trainer on the job quickly figures out just how unqualified she is and gets Erin to admit her sum total waitressing experience: one summer at seventeen on Long Island. Cato quickly decides he will take her under his wing, and train her to be as impeccable as he is at his job.

Unluckily for Erin, Chef Carl does not share Cato's affection for Erin and is constantly letting her know what an imbecile he purports her to be. The owner Steve isn't much fonder of her. Steve tells Carl he can't fire her as Harold does business with him and overlooks Steve's dishonesty at times. Knowing this, they hatch a plan to do whatever they need to to get her to quit. Cleaning the basement, rat droppings, taking inventory, hanging from a harness to clean the chandelier. Then there are the men Erin meet in the restaurant. What's to come of that?

This book was written by identical twins Heather and Rose MacDowell. I've seen a trend in the last few years of dual writers teaming up to write a novel in the chick lit genre (Nanny Diaries and Botox Diaries, I'm looking at you). If you've read The Perfect Manhattan (another tag team effort), this book is in a similar vein. Less dark and druggy though. This was fluff at it's finest. A quick read, ended it with a smile. I definitely look forward to more from the MacDowell twins.
