A hilarious tale of girl meets boy, girl falls in lust, girl discovers boy is not playing with a full deck...<BR><BR>When Kas meets William while on safari in South Africa he seems perfect-a gorgeous park ranger, both kind and brave (he saved the tour from certain death by water buffalo). Her two best friends, Max, an endlessly scheming personal trainer, and Libby, a jobless bombshell, would like to get their hands on William...but he's only interested in Kas, an editorial assistant at a struggling <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">New York</st1:State></st1:place> literary agency who thinks William is out of her league. The two have a fling, and Kas returns home to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">New York</st1:State></st1:place> wondering if she'll hear from William again. So when he finally sends an email, she's delighted. <BR><BR><I>Until she opens it. </I><BR><BR>The email is not quite the love missive Kas expected. Did she misjudge William? A miscommunication ensues, triggering a rapid-fire series of comic developments that, within days, bring William to <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:State>, now under the impression that Kas has offered him a place to live. As he unveils his big plan to take <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Manhattan</st1:place></st1:City> by storm and make his fortune, Kas finally recognizes how limited William's intellectual capabilities are: He makes Kevin Federline look like Albert Einstein. <BR><BR>Readers are along for the outrageous ride as Kas copes with her new roommate's eccentricities, including a preoccupation with the Psychic Friends Network and a passion for collecting Big Apple-themed souvenirs, and the realization that her dream man is a comic nightmare.<BR><BR>"Elaine Szewczyk is smart and funny, and knows that <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:State> bars and African safaris have something important in common: When it comes to dating, it's a jungle out there. If you savor Sophie Kinsella or Lauren Weisberger, you'll want to add her to your reading list."---Chris Bohjalian, author of MIDWIVES, THE DOUBLE BIND, and SKELETONS AT THE FEAST<BR><BR>"Spirited, irreverent, bilious, and above all funny, Elaine Szewczyk's bitter cocktail provides a much-needed antidote for the chick-lit genre..."---Adam Langer, author of <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Ellington Boulevard</st1:address></st1:Street>, Crossing California, and The Washington Story
