Shopping for love can cost a girl her dignity Charlotte has a job as a perfume spritzer in the local mall—a perfect job for spying on her classmates who hang out there. But when she sees her best friend’s boyfriend flirting with another girl, it begins a series of hilarious, often-foiled attempts to catch him in the act of cheating. Whether she’s eating table centerpieces at the country club, or setting the winter dance aflame (literally!), it seems like the only place she can be inconspicuous is at the mall. Through it all, the gorgeous and infuriating Colton is there laughing at her. But when she and Colton dress up as Santa and his elf for a school service project at the mall, they get more attention than they bargained for— leading to a mall brawl, a moment of truth, and the realization that being right isn’t always a one-size-fits-all solution.
