Review
Full of clever email banter and tongue-in cheek humor, this cheeky novel should be enjoyed in one sitting. Publishers Weekly
Synopsis
Gossip columnist and single New York City girl Mellives lives in the most exciting place in the world, yet she's bored with her lovelife. But things get interesting fast when the old lady next door is nearly murdered. Mel starts paying closer attention to her neighbors--what exactly is going on with the cute boy next door? Has Mel found the love of her life--or a killer?
Synopsis
Who is . . .
The Boy Next Door? (Melissa Fuller desperately needs to know!) Is he really Max Friedlander, notoriously wild, famously self-centered fashion photographer-nephew of poor old comatose Mrs. Friedlander? (But he seems so nice!)
Has he come to relieve Mel of the burden of having to walk (or be walked by) Mrs. F's monster Great Dane, Paco -- so maybe she can start getting to work on time and maybe keep her job at the New York Journal?
He's not really trying to find out who assaulted his "aunt" in her own home and why, is he? All by himself? Isn't that a bit dangerous?
And how can one man be this gorgeous, funny, charming, fearless, sexy and mysterious? (And why the heck does he want Mel to call him "John"?)
Anyone with information, please e-mail [email protected] -- and hurry . . . because she's headed for BIG trouble!
Synopsis
"New York Times" bestselling author Meg Cabot's wild, wonderful, sexy, and hilarious "Reading with Ripa" smash hit is available in this mass-market edition for a limited time only. Reissue.
About the Author
Meg Cabot is the author of the best-selling, critically acclaimed, immensely popular
Princess Diaries novels, as well as
All-American Girl, Haunted, and two Regency novels,
Nicola and the Viscount and
Victoria and the Rogue. Meg was born in Bloomington, Indiana, and her childhood was spent in pursuit of air conditioning, of which there was little at the time in southern Indiana. A primary source proved to be the Monroe County Public Library, where Meg whiled away many hours, reading the complete works of Jane Austen, Judy Blume, and Barbara Cartland.
Armed with a fine arts degree from Indiana University, Meg moved to New York City, intent upon pursuing a career in freelance illustration. Illustrating, however, soon got in the way of Meg's true love, writing, and so she abandoned it and got a job as the assistant manager of an undergraduate dormitory at New York University, writing on the weekends, and whenever her boss wasn't looking.
Meg lives in New York City with her husband, Benjamin, a poet, financial market writer and fellow Hoosier, and their one-eyed cat, Henrietta.
