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.
