Cabot, Meg. Every Boy’s Got One. New York: HarperCollins, 2005.
When Jane Harris, best friend extraordinaire, is asked to attend the super hushed up elopement of her lovebird friends Holly and Mark, she can’t wait. (Of course that fact that it is to take place in romantic Italy doesn’t hurt!) Not even a harsh encounter with a rude stranger at the airport will ruin her mood, and her first trip to Europe. Or will it? When the rude stranger turns out to be Mark’s best friend and best man, Cal Langdon, Jane has her work cut out for her. When unforeseen circumstances leave Cal and Jane to save the day – can she make sure that this egotistical, pompous, jerk doesn’t ruin the wedding for all?
Continuing my summer fling with Meg Cabot and chick lit in general, I must say I was pleasantly surprised with Every Boy’s Got One. Blending Cabot’s trademark style of journal entries, emails, and text messages, this book is truly entertaining but believable (which could be do to the fact that it is loosely based on the author’s own experiences with marriage, love, and Italy.) With its easy pace, and warm, charming characters, I found this book the perfect summer getaway.
