Boy Meets Girl by Meg Cabot (2004, Paperback)

This was my first Meg Cabot read, author of The Princess Diaries.

I was not expecting the format: pieces of correspondence from e-mail, IM, memos, transcripts, journals, phone messages, receipts, menus, and meeting minutes. It was so fun though and I just kept turning page after page.

Kate is our heroine and just broke up with her soon-to-be major rockstar boyfriend, Dale. Dale and Kate have been together since 11th grade and moved to NYC from Kentucky together.

Kate is a human resources gal with an atrocious boss, the T.O.D (Tyrannical Office Despot) who is engaged to an equally atrocious attorney, Stuart. Only Stuart has a total hottie for a brother and when Kate finds herself in a lawsuit, the hottie brother is the one to represent her.

Kate also has an awesome best friend, Jen, with whom she lives (well, crashes on her couch).

It really is a great read. I highly recommend it.

Working in a library I am constantly given books to look at see if they are intresting. This book was one book that I just could not put down. The format of the book was like no other I have read, and had to have more so if you read this one you have to read The Boy Next Door and Every Boys Got One. They are well written and you are drawn into the story. Meg Cabot writes a tale like no other and I have to give her a lot of credit going from children's to teen and then to adult and pulling it off perfectly each time. I highly recommend this and any other novel that she writes.

Like all other Meg Cabot books, this book was written using e-mails, phone messages, diary enteries, etc. It is a reader friendly format and makes it so if you wanted to put it down you couldn't, but it's not a problem, because the story makes it so you don't WANT to put it down. I wish a guy would make such an effect for me, and a lawyer at that. This book had me laughing out loud. You will find yourself cheering inside with the T.O.D. gets what she deserves, READ IT!

I loved how clean the book was - I was wary to buy used, but this book was in perfect condition. I was very pleased with my purchase.
