I loved this book. It is a quick read that is fun and light. Jane Spring is anything but a run of the mill character. She is a woman who is attractive, focused, and unfailingly honest to everyone around her, including the men she dates. This turns out to be more than any of the men can handle, and she continually finds herself alone. Jane tries to change this by basing her behavior on an unusual role model and the book takes flight from there.

Definitely worth the time to read. WWDD!

This was actually a pretty interesting read. To see how the main character started to understand how others viewed her and the steps she took to change those views.

This was one of the cutest books I have read in a long time. I love Doris Day movies and when Jane decided to transform herself, she did it to the tee. Super easy read, but loads of fun! Enjoy!

I heart this book! Hardcore lawyer Jane, raised by a military father and brother, She's tired of being on crappy dates. After going on a Doris Day movie marathon, she decides Doris had the right idea. Jane goes so overboard on the Doris gig. She dumps her modern futuristic furniture for something more 50s. Even swapping her king-sized bed for a single! A trip to the thrift store for a wardrobe makeover shows everyone that, yes, she does have legs! And the reactions she gets when she bats her eyes and gets all Doris with the jury on new high profile case. Kind of reminded me of that movie with Rene and Ian. Book of Love, I think? More than that, it reminded me of all of those hilarious Tony Randall movies. Ditto on this book.
