The Truth About Nigel - Jennifer Weiner (short story)









Short Story Title: The Truth About Nigel
Author: Jennifer Weiner
Book: American Girls About Town
Rating: 4 out of 5 horses

First Line:
"Sarah Compton started work at the First Bank of London on the third Monday of September, and Nigel Jones started two days later."
This story is about Sarah who is having a difficult time with men. She has sworn off all men with names starting with vowels. Sarah meets Nigel when starting a new job at a bank. He is handsome and she can't believe that he may be interested in her. They have drinks together every other day and become friends. Sarah even sneaks in a kiss on Nigel and the next day he disappears with a secret. This is a secret that gets Sarah press coverage and she goes into hiding.
I really enjoyed this story and will read more by Jennifer Weirner, since this is the first story I have read of hers.
