Her Good Name

I just finished a book. A good book. I hadn't planned on reading this weekend. No, I had planned on cleaning out my office so that I can reclaim my diningroom table. Then I was going to start on my paper that is due Wed. night. But instead I picked up Josi Kilpack's new novel, Her Good Name.

Chrissy is having an identity crisis. As a single woman and convert to the Church, she has always managed to find her place in life — at least until someone else begins using her credit cards, her bank account, and, most important, her name. Now the real Chrissy must prove her innocence against a growing pile of collection notices and unpaid bills. But with no job, no money, a warrant for her arrest, and a closet full of high-heeled shoes, a girl can only get so far.
When Chrissy meets Micah Heet, the other half of a blind date gone bad, the two discover they are facing the same battle and join forces to find the perpetrators. Little do they know that the small semblance of life they have left will be put on the line in the process.

Josi's books reflect real life. The things that happen to her characters can, and often do, happen to real people in real life. This time it is identity theft. I would not recommend chasing the bad guys yourself, but rather going to the police. Even if it means a night in jail through no fault of your own. A night in jail beats dead in my opinion. But chasing the bad guys makes for a better read, so that is ok.

Oh, and just so you know, Josi knows how to write a good break-up scene. Loved it.
