At the beginning of One For the Money, she has hocked a majority of her appliances and furniture in order to make the payments on her rent and credit cards. She is divorced, in her early thirties (maaaybe late twenties, I can’t remember), has a sparse apartment with her hamster, Rex, and is unemployed. (Full disclosure: that was the second book in the series, Two For the Dough, and I was a seasonal at Bean’s at the time, so that lends credence to the theory that I started reading this series in college.) December was fucking weird.īut I picked up One For The Money on a whim – it had been at least a decade since I’d read a Stephanie Plum novel, and if I was going to focus on bringing joy into my life through the books I read and the TV I watched, why not reread something that you distinctly recall bringing you to tears of laughter in the quiet room at work that one time? Look, I somehow had like, five or six books going at once, between Kindle books, Audible books, and library books. I was experiencing Book ADD hard: I was reading Little Women on my phone (because I got it free on Kindle and I wanted to try and read it before seeing the Greta Gerwig-directed film, which spoiler alert, I managed to do neither), I was working my way through a supernatural novel one of my coworkers lent to me, I was rereading The Night Circus, at one point I was still reading The Moor. (One copy was lent to a friend by Mom and we never saw it again the second resides at Missy’s house.)Īnyway.

And that’s why I had to borrow One For the Money from My Local Library, and it’s kind of weird because I know I have purchased this book at least twice in my lifetime.

I remember reading the first eight, I think? I was pretty far into the series at one point – maybe up to Ten? I also got my mother and sister reading them, and in fact, my sister now holds the series at her house. I cannot remember the first time I read One For the Money – I was probably a senior in high school, or possibly in college.
