Book Description:
A hilarious and hip novel for every girl who’s been desperate to find a way into her dream-man’s heart–and discovered that love is more finicky than a Chihuahua in a Prada handbag.

Yesterday, Liv Elliot had it all: a great flat in London’s Notting Hill, an actual career (okay, as an accountant), and a fiancé with whom she was only weeks away from wedded bliss. Every girl’s dream, right? But then Tim declared that the wedding was off–leaving Liv shell-shocked. Luckily, she’s got her best friend’s fab Australian beach house in which to recuperate.

The restorative powers of the Sydney sun, sand, and sea soon have Liv feeling wonderfully careless, wanton, and reckless. Things really couldn’t get any more anti-accountant when she runs into old flame Ben Parker. It’s been years since they fooled around on their summer vacation, but Liv never forgot that genetically-blessed face. Raring to help her land beautiful Ben, Liv’s friends teach her the Rules of Dog Handling: Treat a man like a dog, and he’ll be eating out of your hand. But surely this can’t actually work? Liv is about to find out that it can–but she’s hardly prepared for the unexpected results.

this was a good book, interesting, funny, a quick read. it was kind of obvious how things would work out, and OBVIOUSLY every girl in the world already knew the truths imparted by the genius drag queens james and dave. but all around a very nice read.

Very funny, and a take off on an old story. We don't have any trouble figuring out the plot, but that doesn't make it less amusing. This is strictly for laughs. Don't look for any deep messages, or new insights. Enjoy, and pass it on.

Pretty good chick lit book. A nice beach read, if you will.

This was cute - was about a woman that tries the "dog handling" theory to keep her man. Was better than that sounds!

This book is a classic example of chick lit. It's funny and cute. A good one to snuggle under the covers and read on a rainy day!
