Plot Summary of Fast Women
"Nell's life is in a long drawn out inner crisis as a result of the breakup of what she considered a stable marriage. She is at an all time low, both physically and emotionally. She needs a kick start. She gets that with a job, a neurotic dog and a great one night stand with an understanding, hot lover. Her boss Gabe needs a kick start too. When they get together it's magic."
Barbara L. Armytage, Resident Scholar
