from the view point of personal journals, and emails between the two
main main characters, the two secondary characters and their ensuing
families. Jane Harris is a cartoonist of WonderCat based on her crazy
cat at home. Her best friend is eloping to the Italian Riveria with her

This was not a new book, but it was one I had never read before.  It was reissued because of her enormous popularity.  I liked it.  She always has the quirky, funny, smart heroines in her books.  For the past 6 years screenwriter Lou Calabrese has had a strained relationship with actor Jack Townsend because he changed a line in the movie she wrote that became a huge catchphrase.  Now they're
