"The Fortunes Of Indigo Skye", by Deb Caletti, author of 'The Nature of Jade',
is about how after receiving a 2.5 million dollar tip from a customer, Indigo Skye(waitress at Carrera's) begins to change due to the drastic rise in money. How has this changed her? Is showering her family with gifts enough to make it seem like she's changing in a good way? Honestly, i'm not sure, so much has changed throughout a course of several climatic events.

I'll only mention one of these 'drastic' events because i don't to give
too much away. What I really didn't expect to happen is Indigo to break up with Trent to date somebody more upper class like her. I didn't really enjoy the scenes Indigo had with her upper class boyfriend because i felt she belonged better with Trent because unlike 'rich' guy here, Indigo actually liked Trent for him. She obviously only likes Jason, her 'rich' boyfriend, because of his high class traits and i guess she felt that she'd get along with a guy like that now that she herself has millions (2.5 million -.-).

What I enjoyed about one of their scenes together is how Indigo started to miss Trent, her family, and her friends. She has drifted so far apart from them, it's like she doesn't even know them anymore. They don't even know who she is anymore (not literally) because of how much she's changed over a rather short period of time. Indigo begins to miss the feeling she gets when she kissed Trent, when she kisses Jason she feels nothing. This shows how she starts to miss her 'old' life, the life she had before the vespa guy gave her a 2.5 million dollar tip. I mean many people who changed due to a drastic rise in money would feel some sort of regret. Especially because of the people they lost because of this sudden change in personality.
