You Had Me at Good-bye

February 1, 2008
Editor Dancy Ames is upset when Jack Quinn, her brother's best friend, snags the senior editor job she believes she truly deserved. When she is forced out of her job, Dancy has to face reality and think about what she should do next with her life. A controlling mother who rejects failure does not help matters. This whimsical, breezy piece of inspirational chick lit features witty dialog and a modern heroine who finds that her nemesis will figure into her future in surprising ways. A good afternoon read that will appeal to college-age and twenty-something females, this novel deserves a place in public library collections. Bateman ("Catch a Rising Star") lives in Missouri.
