THE BESTSELLING NOVEL BY STEVE MARTIN IS NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE Mirabelle is the "shopgirl" of the title, a young woman, beautiful in a wallflowerish kind of way, who works behind the glove counter at Neiman Marcus "selling things that nobody buys anymore..."

I was reshelving this book at the library, when I happened to peek at the first couple of pages. Brought the book home with me (happens a lot; occupational hazard). The first half was captivating. But then about two-thirds in I was starting to get tired of the pace and the non-events. Perhaps Mr Martin was as well, because the story kind of swooped up and wrapped itself tidily in the last 10 to 15 pages. Still, I liked the rhythm of the prose. There are a few gems in there from start to finish. ( )
this was fine... entertaining! but at the same time not exciting. i know it was only 130 pages, but i think there could've been more. it's a bittersweet story as Mirabelle looks for genuine love and happiness. there are a lot of quiet heartbreaking moments that i liked. not amazing or groundbreaking, but it was enjoyable. quick, easy to read and well written. i don't read stories with characters like Mirabelle so that was refreshing ( )

Then Mirabelle says, "I took the gloves to Vermont and stored them in my memory box -- my mother asked me what they were but I kept it to myself -- and here in my bedroom, in my private drawer, I keep a photo of you."
