Muriel Resnik Jackson (–1995)

I liked this book - a few people I know did not. Their loss. HOWEVER, the WORLD'S BEST recipe is in here. Well, there are two in the book, I prefer one over the other.

I think I identified with the protagonist in a way, especially since I was living in Dixie when I read the book.

On Wednesdays, Jardel Filho tells his wife he's spending the night in a corporate apartment, when really he's spending the night at his girlfriend's place. His client, Sergio Viotti, is in town and is accidentally sent to the executive suite instead of a hotel. He thinks Tonia Carrero, Jardel's girlfriend, is actually a hooker hired by the company! Muriel Resnik's successful Broadway play Any Wednesday fits in with many 1960s sex comedies, and Carrero fits right in. She's beautiful and has show more comic timing, so the misunderstandings are twice as funny when she's in the middle. I never find Jardel to be very likable, but when he's paired up against Carrero, he softens around the edges. This is a cute play for those who like comedies that take issue with premarital sex. show less
