Plot Summary of Vivian Lives
"In this second installment of the Chick Lit “Vivian” trilogy, 20-something Vivian Livingston narrates her new and improved life in New York City. Five years after moving to New York, Vivian is the star of her very own web site. She has the “perfect job” as well as the ‘'perfect boyfriend” - firefighter, Jack.

Unfortunately, just when it seems that Vivian's life is on track, her past begins to haunt her. Her history in an abusive relationship and her associated neurosis threatened to throw her newly perfected life completely off course.

Jennifer Selk, Resident Scholar
