This book was very cute - perhape a bit on the cheeky side. It is written in the style of e-mails, IM's and diary entries, and totally satisfied my guilty pleasure of secretly reading other's E-mails!! Plus it takes place in Italy. Voila!
Helpful Score: 1
Still intriguing but trite and annoyingly predictable ending. The plot of wedding abroad, however, is quite funny.
Helpful Score: 1
Very similar to "Boy meets Girl" and "The boy next door". If you liked those, you'll like this one. The ending was predictable, but a very fast read. Typical chick-lit.

Couldn't put it down. Hilarious!

A good book, not one of my favorties of Meg's. I liked The Boy Next Door a bit better, as this one, it had journal entries instead of just emails, and the journal entries seemed to take away from the story line and the book just a little bit. The entries also seemed to drag out in spots. But still a good readable, funny book.
Cute story made me laugh.
silly, fluffy, fun summer/beach-read
Follow through emails and journal writings the daily lives of jane harris and cal langdon at their two friends eloping ceremoning in europe.
very cute- a fast read, written in email and diary format.
Love that it's told in emails.
Another great book from Meg Cabot! Great author.
This book was such a good, light read! I love how it was all written with emails, personal journals, and such. It was just a quick, easy read that had such a delightful story.
light, fun read
My favorite Meg Cabot book ever! Read it in less than a week and left on my own I could have finished within two days. Very quick read and would definitely read it several times over.
Great book. Very cute! It is perfect for flying because it keeps you interested and is a quick read.
This was my favorite in the Boy Next Door series. I really liked the style of all 3 books. Very fast reads and fun! I really liked the story line of this one. After reading it, I read the author notes and it is based on her own wedding experience. If you are in the mood for a quick, fun, and light read, this is it. I hope Meg writes more books in this style, I would definitly pick them up.
I was so disappointed in this book. Throughout the story Cal is a jerk, especially when he goes on and on about how love is just an illusion created by chemical reactions. Not exactly a sentiment I look for in romantic comedies. Jane is childish and blabbers on about inane, unimportant things far too often. About half the book could have been removed without affecting the actual storyline.
The last fifty pages or so felt very rushed. It was like the author had run out of time or space and just had to wrap things up. Jane and Cal, as well as Holly and Mark's families, change their minds in pretty much a sentence without any real reason or justification for the turn around.
I had loved Meg Cabot's The Boy Next Door and had been excited to have a great new author to read. After Boy Meets Girl, I was disappointed but had hoped this book would bring back the warm feelings I had once about Meg Cabot's books. After this one though, I'm done.

I liked the style it was written in and parts were laugh out loud funny, but overall I was disappointed. The ending seemed rushed and too many characters did a personality 180.
This book was a quick, easy read for me. It is a great weekend read as it moves quickly and humorously thru the story. Several times I even laughed out loud!
Love this book and the others in the boy series!!! The email style of writing is so great! You can read in short bursts if needed, but you won't want to. I found myself thinking I had only read a couple of pages but had actually read 20-30. Great writing style with a story that grabs you and won't let go.
I great book for modern day love and communications!!
this is a fun Meg Cabot book!
Another good one from Meg Cabot. Fast read.
A fun, quick, quirky read. Written as a series of e-mails.
Enjoyable book. Written all in email messages.
I love the style of these books, told through emails and journal entires. It's definitely a very fluffy book, but good for a needed relaxing break.
I love Meg Cabot and this book hit the spot, even if it is a quirky romance.
Cute and fun.
I thought this was a very cute story.
Definately CHICK LIT!
Definately CHICK LIT!
Excellent read! I love Meg Cabot's writing. It's like she shouldn't even bother to use punctuation. It's like talking to a really good friend who's living a way more eventfull life! I read this one is one day, and I'm not usually one to pick up a book and finish it so quickly.
fun quick read - read all of her books!
Fun, breezy chick lit. A very quick read, and very entertaining.
Characters not very likable, romance not very convincing. E-mail/Journal format interesting but a bit distracting at times.
This is a very fun read! A good hearted story.
Another great one from Meg Cabot! I really like the way these books are written. I have to say this one is my least favorite of the three but it still was good! They are nice fast reads.
Silly and fluffy, but fun.
Fun, light-hearted read.
I enjoyed this light read. It was easy to get into and made me remember the blossoming of new romances.
Light, fun quick chick-lit..Meg Cabot at her best. You've got to love a book told entirely through journals, IM's and E-Mails!
Funny story!
a quick fun read....lighthearted, funny....
Great book! I loved the story, and Meg Cabot's unique style of writing in e-mail and journal format is a great change of pace for avid readers!
Cartoonist Jane Harris is delighted by the prospect of her first-ever trip to Europe. But it's hate at first sight for Jane and Cal Langdon, and neither is too happy at the prospect of sharing a villa with one another for a week-not even in the beautiful and picturesque Le Marche countryside. But when Holly and Mark's wedding plans hit a major snag that only Jane and Cal can repair, the two find themselves having to put aside their mutual dislike for one another in order to get their best friends on the road to wedded bliss-and end up on a road themselves...one neither of them ever expected.
I always give books 100 pages. I began to read this series and it started out with an email. I started to read and I found the whole book was email correspondences back and forth. It may be a great book and series but reading emails in a book form is not for me.
