A good read . Much of the story takes place at the cosmetic counter in a large Dallas store. We meet all the women who share the responsibility for the brand's offered to their customers. These finely drawn characters ,both friends and sometimes foes , make fun and interesting reading. Then a company introduces a great new serum . It really works. Everyone who uses it looks years younger! Is it as good as it looks or could something be wrong?
