jennifer johnson is sick of being single

While the big B is out of town in Ireland on the LEAP YEAR set, I've had a lot of time to catch up on my reading. See one of the things my boss & I share is our mutual affection for books, LOTS of books. There have been good ones, ok ones, eh ones, and downright terrible ones... but one, one has stuck out as perhaps one of the funniest new books I've read yet.

By the author of pretty little mistakes Heather McElhatton's newest novel jennifer johnson is sick of being single is Bridget Jones meets Office Space with a little Meet the Parents thrown in.

A wicked comedy charting the perils of making your dreams comes true.

Quirky, clever, cubicle-bound Jennifer Johnson is desperate. Everyone around her is getting married while she’s still single and writing ad copy for men’s black dress socks.

Her life hits crisis level, launching her into a humiliating and painfully hilarious quest to find Prince Charming at any cost. This includes agonizing online dates, diet clinic cults, drag queen fights, and a debilitating addiction to Cinnabon icing.

When she meets handsome, wealthy Brad Keller, she wonders if he’s the answer to all her dreams or is he just too good to be true?

Darkly funny and outrageously honest, McElhatton’s wit shines in this cautionary fairy tale about getting what you want—and how it can be the worst thing for you.

However my favorite part about the whole debacle is Jennifer's "darkest nemesis, the girl behind the Cinnabon counter." who she playfully nicknames Satan.
