Re: You

Hi, honey! It's me, Mom. I know it's a big secret that your friend Holly and her boyfriend Mark are eloping in Italy, and that you and Mark's friend Cal Langdon (the handsome New York Journal reporter with the big book deal) are going, too, as their witnesses. But I just saw Holly's mother at the Kroger Sav-On, and I thought I'd warn you: She doesn't seem to like Mark very much at all. Just wanted to let you know.

PS I don't understand why you don't like that nice Cal Langdon! He seemed so smart when I saw him being inte viewed on Charlie Rose. And so handsome!

PPS Don't forget to wear a sweater!

Cartoonist Jane Harris is delighted by the prospect of her first-ever trip to Europe. But it's hate at first sight for Jane and Cal Langdon, and neither is too happy at the prospect of sharing a villa with one another for a week -- not even in the beautiful and picturesque Marches countryside. But when Holly and Mark's wedding plans hit a major snag that only Jane and Cal can repair, the two find themselves having to put aside their mutual dislike for one another in order to get their best friends on the road to wedded bliss -- and end up on a road themselves ... one neither of them ever expected. Meg Cabot was born in Bloomington, Indiana. She is the author of seven historical romances under the pseudonym Patricia Cabot as well as Boy Meets Girl, The Boy Next Door, She Went All the Way and the bestselling young adult fiction series The Princess Diaries. She lives in New York City with her husband.

This book was very cute - perhape a bit on the cheeky side. It is written in the style of e-mails, IM's and diary entries, and totally satisfied my guilty pleasure of secretly reading other's E-mails!! Plus it takes place in Italy. Voila!

Very similar to "Boy meets Girl" and "The boy next door". If you liked those, you'll like this one. The ending was predictable, but a very fast read. Typical chick-lit.

Still intriguing but trite and annoyingly predictable ending. The plot of wedding abroad, however, is quite funny.

A good book, not one of my favorties of Meg's. I liked The Boy Next Door a bit better, as this one, it had journal entries instead of just emails, and the journal entries seemed to take away from the story line and the book just a little bit. The entries also seemed to drag out in spots. But still a good readable, funny book.

This was my favorite in the Boy Next Door series. I really liked the style of all 3 books. Very fast reads and fun! I really liked the story line of this one. After reading it, I read the author notes and it is based on her own wedding experience. If you are in the mood for a quick, fun, and light read, this is it. I hope Meg writes more books in this style, I would definitly pick them up.

This book was a quick, easy read for me. It is a great weekend read as it moves quickly and humorously thru the story. Several times I even laughed out loud!

I liked the style it was written in and parts were laugh out loud funny, but overall I was disappointed. The ending seemed rushed and too many characters did a personality 180.

I was so disappointed in this book. Throughout the story Cal is a jerk, especially when he goes on and on about how love is just an illusion created by chemical reactions. Not exactly a sentiment I look for in romantic comedies. Jane is childish and blabbers on about inane, unimportant things far too often. About half the book could have been removed without affecting the actual storyline.

The last fifty pages or so felt very rushed. It was like the author had run out of time or space and just had to wrap things up. Jane and Cal, as well as Holly and Mark's families, change their minds in pretty much a sentence without any real reason or justification for the turn around.

I had loved Meg Cabot's The Boy Next Door and had been excited to have a great new author to read. After Boy Meets Girl, I was disappointed but had hoped this book would bring back the warm feelings I had once about Meg Cabot's books. After this one though, I'm done.
