will love Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. Not really sure of the significance of the title. The whole story is told through a very detailed travel journal (initially intended as a wedding present to the couple who are eloping) and emails - a clever device where you have to fill the gaps at times. (  ) maree57 | Aug 26, 2009 |  cursingmama | Apr 10, 2009 | Loosely connected third in the Boy series, this novel does not disappoint if you are looking for light, romantic reading. The edition I read had an interesting section at the end by the author detailing all the ways in which the novel used real life events of her Italian wedding. On top of all that, I kept being reminded of basic plotlines in "Pride and Prejudice". Two people - each forming an unflattering and unbalanced picture of each other - undeniably attracted to each other none-the-less. The hero saves the day, they each admit they were wrong, happily ever after. Cabot does have a way of making me giggle. (  ) tjsjohanna | Mar 17, 2009 | Just to start off, I'm pretty sure it's "a heart". Anyway, this story is about Jane, a cat-obsessed cartoonist, who helps her friends Mark and Holly elope in Italy. "Oh wait," you might ask, "where's the boy?" Coming along for the ride is Cal, Mark's friend. Before they even officially meet, Jane and Cal hate each other (wonder where that could end up?). But as you know.. mm... stuff happens. XD. I would have loved a story about Mark and Holly, since they are Jewish and Catholic and their families are having issues about that. That should be interesting. Oh wait, there probably is one The Boy Next Door... that could be it? Anyway, this book, like Boy Meets Girl is told in an untraditional way. It's made up of journal entries, blackberry text messages, emails, signs, menus, programs, notes, etc., which are all very lovely. Also, Cal has a very amusing foot fetish which should have been used as an inside joke somewhere. Oh right they did have an inside joke about him. Ahhhh, I remember now. The book is pure fluff, but fluff is the stuff that I luff, so get over it. (  ) shamille | Feb 13, 2008 | didn't enjoy this book and found it boring and too predictable. A couple go off to Italy to elope. Their best man and maid of honor go with them. The two do not hit it off and actually detest each other. See where this is going?

Re: You
Hi, honey! It's me, Mom. I know it's a big secret that your friend Holly and her boyfriend Mark are eloping in Italy, and that you and Mark's friend Cal Langdon (the handsome New York Journal reporter with the big book deal) are going, too, as their witnesses. But I just saw Holly's mother at the Kroger Sav-On, and I thought I'd warn you: She doesn't seem to like Mark very much at all. Just wanted to let you know.
PS I don't understand why you don't like that nice Cal Langdon! He seemed so smart when I saw him being inte viewed on Charlie Rose. And so handsome!
PPS Don't forget to wear a sweater!
Cartoonist Jane Harris is delighted by the prospect of her first-ever trip to Europe. But it's hate at first sight for Jane and Cal Langdon, and neither is too happy at the prospect of sharing a villa with one another for a week—not even in the beautiful and picturesque Marches countryside. But when Holly and Mark's wedding plans hit a major snag that only Jane and Cal can repair, the two find themselves having to put aside their mutual dislike for one another in order to get their best friends on the road to wedded bliss—and end up on a road themselves ... one neither of them ever expected.
Meg Cabot was born in Bloomington, Indiana. She is the author of seven historical romances under the pseudonym Patricia Cabot as well as Boy Meets Girl, The Boy Next Door, She Went All the Way and the bestselling young adult fiction series The Princess Diaries. She lives in New York City with her husband.
