And that was before she found out she owed Centrelink $70,000. In one day she's dumped by her boyfriend, disinherited by her mum and kicked out of the 3 year degree it's so far taken her 10 years to do. * * Maggie's Going Nowhere by Rose Hartley. My thanks to Better Reading Preview and Penguin Random House Australia for an uncorrected proof to read and review. Recommended for all lovers of chick lit and women's fiction. Will she get back into her mother's will? Will she pay off her debts? Will she get the guy? I'm not going to tell you, you'll have to read this book yourself to find out. As she plummets further and further, you can't help but admire her optimism, and uselessness, while she rides roughshod over everyone around her. While this book doesn't have a lot of substance it's light and easy to read, and I found myself chuckling, and cringing, at Maggie's antics all the way through. The job has perks in the form of Reuben, hot ex-crim guitarist and IT expert, and Maggie spends most of her time trying to seduce him instead of trying to get her life back on track. So with the last of her mother's money she buys an old caravan so she doesn't have to live on the street, and gets a volunteer job in a charity shop through Centrelink. Maggie's life is a train wreck, she has no job, has been dumped by her boyfriend, and been disinherited by her mother for being a no-hoper.
