From Publishers Weekly : A day-by-day travel journal intended as a first anniversary present for Jane Harris`s best friend, Holly, turns into Jane`s rollicking private diary account of the madcap events leading up to Holly and Mark`s Italian countryside elopement. Cabot (Boy Meets Girl), who pens the bestselling young adult series the Princess Diaries, presents an engaging topsy-turvy tale pitting maid of honor Jane, renowned for her Garfield-like Wonder Cat cartoons, against Mark`s best friend and best man, international journalist Cal Langdon (who, to Jane`s astonishment, has never heard of Wonder Cat). The author garners extra points for cleverly bringing the novel to life via Jane`s diary, Cal`s PDA journal and the hilarious e-mails that whiz through cyberspace between the main characters, their respective family members and one diehard Wonder Cat fan. Cabot captures the rustic charm of Castelfidardo, a small Italian town in the region of Le Marche, which happens to be the accordion-making capital of the world and is replete with unpredictable electricity, dubious public restrooms and bureaucratic snafus that nearly derail the wedding plans. The jaded, bitterly divorced Cal makes a worthy opponent to Jane, whose notions of marriage are much more romantic than his. Cabot`s personal epilogue about her own elopement in the Italian countryside—marked by much of the mayhem her main characters encounter—adds spice to this frothy concoction of love, friendship and true romance.
