Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Claire Cook's beguilingly original Ready to Fall struck a vibrant chord with its "perky take on midlife angst" (Publishers Weekly). In Must Love Dogs she gives us a contemporary Everywoman in a big rollicking south-of-Boston Irish family — a zany novel with the flavor of Nora Ephron, Susan Isaacs, and Jeanne Ray's Julie and Romeo.
Forty-year-old Sarah Hurlihy, a divorced preschool teacher whose life is her classroom, is about to meet her first date in more than a decade. It was the "Loves Dogs" that hooked her in the personal ad, and now she is scanning her neighborhood café for the man with a yellow rose. And find him she does, but he's the last person on earth she expects to find there... In Must Love Dogs, hilarious missteps abound. Sarah's widowed father, Billy Hurlihy, with six adult kids, is seeing at least two women. And he and Sarah aren't the only Hurlihys with romantic challenges. Her brother Michael, for one, has a rocky marriage that Mother Teresa, his St. Bernard, just may put over the edge. With self-deprecating humor and a laugh-out-loud view of the way we live now, including shar pei/Labrador crosses and a transgenerational body-piercing experience, Must Love Dogs is a perfect beach read that melts the heartache of dating with warmth and humor. Review:"Cook employs just enough glibness and smarty-pants humor to make this tart slice-of-the-single-life worth reading....Breezy first-person narration makes this a fast-paced, humorous diversion." Publishers Weekly Review:"It's raining men, family, humor, and tragicomic angst in Cook's latest novel for older fans of Bridget Jones." Booklist Synopsis:In "Must Love Dogs, " Cook gives readers a contemporary Everywoman in a big rollicking south-of-Boston Irish family--a zany novel with the flavor of Nora Ephron, Susan Isaacs, and Jeanne Ray's Julie and Romeo. A perfect beach read that melts the heartache of dating with warmth and humor. About the AuthorClaire Cook is the author of Ready to Fall.
