Meet Kate Mackenzie. She:

*works for the T.O.D. (short for TyrannicalOffice Despot, also known as Amy Jenkins,Director of the Human Resources Divisionat the New York Journal)
*is sleeping on the couch because her boyfriend of ten years refuses to commit
*can't find an affordable studio apartment anywhere in New York City
*thinks things can't get any worse.

They can. Because:

*the T.O.D. is making her fire the most popular employee in the paper's senior staff dining room
*that employee is now suing Kate for wrongful termination, and
*now Kate has to give a deposition in front ofMitch Hertzog, the scion of one of Manhattan's wealthiest law families,who embraces everything Kate most despises ... but also happens to have a nice smile and a killer bod.

The last thing anybody -- least of all Kate Mackenzie -- expects to find in a legal arbitration is love. But that's the kind of thing that can happen when ... Boy Meets Girl.

I read this book back in Oct '04 and really enjoyed it. I love Meg Cabot's writing, so it was no surprise to me. It was a very quick and fun read, and I liked how the whole book is set in faux emails, instant messages, phone conversations, etc.

Offering this up as a bookray.

CAUGHT IN OHIO USA

Rec'd yesterday evening. My first official bookcrossing bookray...

Really cute novel for fans of the first novel in this series by Meg Cabot. I'm sensing a pattern with Cabot's heroines--awkwardness (maybe there's hope for me yet).
I will say that I like the way this novel was written... No real dialogue--transcripts, answering machine messages and emails are it.

Will be sending to WintersQT4Ever

I recieved this in the mail today and what a day to get a bookring, my spring break just started. I hope to finish this by the end of the week and get it off to bksfamly but then of course, I just started a book so that one needs to be read first.

This was quite an addicting read, i never imagined I would finish it this FAST! It wasa page-turner and I was up late two nights in a row just cramming in 'one more page'. Luckily, I got it on break! The only downer was the end, some books i just hate it when they leave you hanging, like this one. Kate was a wonderful character though, and I have already asked for some other books such as The boy Next Door. I hope the rest of you like this. i plan to send it out ot bksfamly in the next two weeks.
-Danielle

received in the mail today will read as soon as I done with my current book.

Just finished reading this book. I thought it was very good.

5/31 Finished the book. Will PM RaineeRose for address.

Received this on Tuesday or Wednesday. (I was out of town when it arrived). I will read it ASAP and then send it on to bookaholic2. Thanks!

Overall, I enjoyed this book, particularly as I got closer to the end. At first, I thought it to be a bit gimmicky because of its being written in the style of instant messages, e-mails, etc. -- I guess I've seen this technique utilized too many times before. As a result, I didn't feel like I knew the main character as well as I could have had the book been written at least in part in a more conventional manner. However, that being said, I must add that by the end of the book, my feelings had changed somewhat, and I was truly sorry to come to the end of Kate's story. I would recommend this book and this author.

I've reserved the book for bookaholic2. I should be able to mail it tomorrow. Thanks, opheliadrowned, for starting this ray.

Received in the mail today! I cannot wait to read this while on holidays! I will journal more soon! Thank you!

I loved this book! I read it in an afternoon, giggling through many parts. I really enjoyed the main character, I found her to be very real for me.

St. Paul/MN/USA

The book showed up in my mailbox a couple days ago with perfect timing as I really haven't got a ton of other books I need to be reading. I going to have to set aside a couple of hours, make myself a cup of tea, and really enjoy this for the fluff that it is. :-D

St. Paul/MN/USA - I just finished this, and it is absolutely adorable. I am in a class where we read about a million books written in Letter and Diarie form, so I must confess that it did get on my nerves a bit. Nonetheless, it was a very enjoyable read and a must for any Meg Cabot fan. If anyone is looking for any recommendations, I would suggest Bookends by Jane Green as a lovely example of chick lit. Thanks everyone for getting the book to me, and if anyone knows someone who would like this book I am more than happy to send it on. Thanks again!

I am sending this out as part of a bookbox that Czersk and I are starting. If you are interested or would like to join I am including the link. Just PM me and I will add you to the list. Thanks!
