THE THING ABOUT JANE SPRING

Author: Sharon Krum ISBN: 0452287456 6/2006 CONTEMPORARY Publisher: PLUME

At thirty-one, Jane Spring has everything a woman could ask for and seemingly everything a man could long for—great legs, brains, rising star status in the Manhattan D.A.’s office—but she just can’t find a man who’ll fall madly in love with her. Men are always lining up to ask her out, but for some reason no one wants a second date. Then one snowy night while watching a Doris Day marathon on cable it hits her: Doris Day always got her man. Men might say they want a woman to be smart, ambitious, and sexually available, but what they really want is a woman who wears a pencil skirt and kitten heels. Fine, if that's what they want, Jane decides, that's what she'll give them.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

THE THING ABOUT JANE SPRING by Sharon Krum, is a charming and witty story that was just fun to read. It's a perfect book to take the beach or to the pool.

"What would Doris do?" Doris Day, that is. Jane Spring has radically changed her persona from no nonsense lawyer to Doris Day. From cutting off her long hair and dressing in her grandmother's vintage clothes, she's determined to find the man of her dreams. Jane is going to take you through a hilarious journey of self-discovery!

Jane is a thirty-one year old lawyer living in New York. Raised by her military father, she's become a tough and opinionated woman. Unfortunately, she can't seem to go beyond the first date with any man. But all that's going to change once she becomes Doris Day. Or is it?

THE THING ABOUT JANE SPRING is one of those books that easy to read and laugh out-loud funny.
