Must Love Halloween

  ***

  Excerpt from Must Love Black

She’s decidedly not goth, though no one seems to get that, not her teachers, her father, or her brand new stepmother, whose favorite color is pink. So what’s a girl to do when she’s offered the opportunity to be a third wheel on a honeymoon cruise, or work as a summer nanny in Bar Harbor Maine? The clincher – the ad specifically says, “Must love black.”
