'A romantic, sophisticated and wickedly funny comedy by the author of 'The First Wives Club' and 'Young Wives''
Two friends meet regularly at a hip café in downtown Seattle to discuss their problems over a cup of mochaccino. Jon is Mr Very Nice Guy – so why can't he get a girlfriend? Tracie, meanwhile, is never short of a man, although they treat her so casually – like Phil, a wild and crazy rock musician. But women secretly love this behaviour, Tracie explains, and even Jon can become irresistible, once Tracie has taught him to be a Bad Boy too.
A trendy haircut, cool new clothes and endless lectures later, and Jon's nerdy friends and Tracie's man-hungry female colleagues are green with envy and hot with desire respectively. But has Tracie created a monster?
"Goldsmith hands out her characters' rewards and comeuppances like Jane Austen dealing blackjack"
