Every Boy's Got One...

 I'm in my book-maddening mode again this holiday - the only time where I got the mood to spend times with novels and such.

The novel I just recently finished reading was 'Every Boy's Got One' by Meg Cabot. This is the third title in 'The Boy Series'. This third title was just as good as the previous title - Boy Meets Girl. The way Cabot narrated this story and the other stories in this series was truly creative - she was using the medium of notes, diary, e-mails, sms-es, etc to tell this story from different characters - which gave us the chance to know the viewpoints of different people. It was hilarious - I mean the diary and the e-mails' contents. I guess Cabot was convincing when writing some notes from the viewpoint of the male characters. That's what I call a good author.

This story is narrated mainly from the viewpoint of Jane Harris - the maid of honour/best friend of Holly the bride. Jane was helping Holly to elope to Italy with Holly's boyfriend, Mark Levine, who also brought along his best friend Cal Langdon to be his best man. Jane and Cal had totally different view about the elopement, Jane was totally supportive of the marriage while Cal, thinks that it's too early for Mark to settle down. 

Actually, this story was inspired by Cabot's own elopement back in Italy too, but creative Cabot was not sticking to the cliche of having the bride as the main character or narrator; instead she narrated this story from the viewpoint of the maid of honour.

About the main characters, both Jane and Cal are very different but yet very similar - Jane loves cats and Cal (though he won't admit it) actually loves cats too. They are both very successful, Jane is the artist who created and drew Wondercats while Cal is a journalist who wrote best-selling nonfiction book. 

When will Jane change her negative view about Cal? And when will Cal start to believe in love and marriage again? 

Ah.. I won't give you the answer to the question above. You have to find out yourself by (duh!) reading this book..

If you are into romance and comedy, this is the perfect book for you. ;)
