I like the style of this book. It was very entertaining and a quick read. Perfect for reading by the pool on a hot summer day. Kate is very engaging. This book lends a hysterical slant to sibling relationships. Mitch is a perfect leading man and Amy is a woman you love to hate. She's the boss every one has had at some point or another. It's wonderful to see her get her comeuppance. ( )

This book does a whole story without narrative, it's all written communication, whether on paper or electronically, and it's brilliant. I loved the easy, direct language and the fastness of the read (one very short session is all it took to get through this). The story was nothing original, but well told and enjoyable enough, mainly because of the excellent and mercifully small cast. ( )

This is a quick, amusing read, complete with romantic entanglement. This story is told entirely through email, IM, notes, and the occasional phone message. Which just goes to show that the epistolary novel is not dead in the electronic age! Occasional cursing. ( )

An adult Meg Cabot title this is told in the form of emails, IM's, letters, diary entries and other such items that doccument the life and woes of Kate MacKenzie. There are times that you wonder why she would be writing at this time but this is the pivot around which the book is written.

The other two main characters are Ida Lopez, a provider of cakes to those she deems worthy and when she refuses Stuart Hertzog, a lawyer one of her cakes it sets in motion a series of events that cause Katie to come into contact with Mitch Hertzog, the brother of that lawyer and a completely different person.

This is another love story. (Hence the title.) But I really liked this book because unlike other Meg Cabot books, this one is written entirely on e-mails, txt, or IM. It was really cool. The story is funny. There are 2 story lines: one, about Kate Mackenzie and her work life. Two, about Mitch Hertzburger and his family drama. It turns out Mitch's brother, which he has a rocky relationship with, is egaged to Kate's boss. ( )

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060085452, Paperback)

Meet Kate Mackenzie. She:

works for the T.O.D. (short for Tyrannical Office Despot, also known as Amy Jenkins, Director of the Human Resources Division at the New York Journal) is sleeping on the couch because her boyfriend of ten years refuses to commit can't find an affordable studio apartment anywhere in New York City thinks things can't get any worse.

They can. Because:

the T.O.D. is making her fire the most popular employee in the paper's senior staff dining room that employee is now suing Kate for wrongful termination, and now Kate has to give a deposition in front of Mitch Hertzog, the scion of one of Manhattan's wealthiest law families, who embraces everything Kate most despises ... but also happens to have a nice smile and a killer bod.

The last thing anybody -- least of all Kate Mackenzie -- expects to find in a legal arbitration is love. But that's the kind of thing that can happen when ... Boy Meets Girl.
