Meet Kate MacKenzie…idealistic office worker,
reluctant deliverer of termination notices and queen of instant messaging. As
sweet as sugar. Meet Mitch Hertzog…ever-smiling corporate lawyer,
defender of the downtrodden and king of aborted dinner dates. Good enough to
eat.
Meet Ida Lopez…cake, cookie and pastry-maker
extraordinaire, purveyor of the dessert trolley and goddess of all things
mouth-wateringly yummy. As nice as pie.
Together they must battle tyrants and despots to find
truth, justice and the perfect double fudge pudding.
I've been a big fan
of Ms. Cabot's work since I picked up the Princess Diaries, but for me, this is
the book that truly launched her adult romantic fiction works. I have literally
never laughed this hard at a book, and will admit that I have re-read this
novel a few times, due to the sheer hilarity.
Written in one of
the most unique formats I've ever seen, this novel is written entirely through
emails from each of the characters, a few diary entries, and notes scribbled to
each other, but is one of the most comprehensive novels I've read, and you can
truly see our hero and heroine falling in love. If nothing else, read this book
simply because of it's writing format!
There just truly
aren't enough good things to say about this book. From it's unique writing
style, I can say that these characters are truly unlike anything I've ever read
and the romance is 100% believable and organic. All of the characters have
unique characteristics and truly fleshed out, and a pleasure to read.
Overall, hands down,
one of the best books I've ever read, and certainly a favourite.
