'I'm wearing a beautiful pink dress, and I'm in a big pink room with billowing curtainsand I'm dancing to Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Darkand my handsome partner leans over and whispers 'Yes, 80s child Bella really thought life was going to be like Pretty in Pink, St Elmo's Fire and all those other movies - where everyone was astoundingly glamorous, popular, successful, had huge apartments and lived happily ever after. But now that she and her gang are thirty, she has to admit that things haven't quite turned out that way. When did horrible flats, difficult relationships and menaningless jobs take over?And, more importantly, what happened to the coolest, wisest, most inspirational Brat Packer of them all? Where is Andrew McCarthy now? Did life fulfil its promise for him? Is he happy on Channel 5? Surely he, of all people, can tell Bella what to do about her thirty-angst? Determined to get her idol to unravel some of life's great mysteries, Bella sets out, unwillingly accompanied by her best friend Julia, on a quest across the USA, from LA to New York to find him. It's an unlikely epic, by turns hilarious, romantic and downright uncomfortable - but, helped by a cast of thousands, of whom Frosty the Giant Pig is probably the least improbable, they do find some answers, although not the ones they expected
Really good fun.

Wow, I didn't realize I had goten this book from Helly so long ago! I don't usually read much fiction, but who can resist Andrew McCarthy? :-) The book got off to a slow start, but once Ellie and Julia got to the US, things really picked up. I won't tell you if Ellie meets Andrew, but true to form, the book has a happy ending. A good summer read.
I'm going to Best Buy tomorrow, so I will put it on the videos rack right next to "Pretty in Pink". I think that might be my first themed release. Oh, no, wait...I left a copy of "John Dollar" on an ATM. Let's hope I get a journal entry out of this one, at least.
