The Fortunes of Indigo Skye

The Fortunes of Indigo Skye
By Deb Caletti
Simon Pulse, 2009. 298 pgs. Young Adult

Indigo Skye is eighteen and loving life. She has a great boyfriend, loves her job as a waitress, and while her family is a little hard up for money, they're still happy. When a customer at her job leaves her a 2.5 million dollar tip, though, Indigo suddenly isn't sure of things she thought she knew. As she deals with her new-found riches, she discovers that money might not be all it's cracked up to be.

Indigo is an engaging character, quirky and strong-willed, and the supporting characters are lovable. A fun story about being true to yourself, it was diminished only by excessive use of bad language.
