WANTED: AN INTERESTING LIFE
Bev Katz Rosenbaum
Harlequin Flipside, Apr 2004, $4.50, 217 pp.
ISBN: 0373441886
As her thirtieth birthday is on the horizon and reflecting back on high school pal Ron Bernstein, Lou Bergman pledges to turn from boringly dependable to a capital I interesting person that everyone will want to meet. She establishes a plan with specific goals to achieve starting with changing jobs from wedding videographer to screenwriter. Finally, she will leave behind her boringly dependable friends especially her old reliable nemesis Havajava Café owner Jake Roth to achieve her one-year objective of becoming the queen of the in crowd.
The only problems with her scenario is that Lou likes the friends she plans to leave behind and fears never seeing her opponent Jake again. To Jake, Lou is already the most enthralling person in the universe as he loves her and has an agenda of his own to finally win her heart starting with a wager they make over Columbian coffee that she will realize in one year how good it really was.
Though the ending reads right out of a happy ending to a Hollywood script, fans of contemporary romance will enjoy this often amusing and witty battle of the sexes. The interesting story line entertains readers as Lou thinks she knows what she wants while Jake does know what he wants so that the bet is even more interesting to follow. Readers will gain plenty of pleasure as Lou learns what really is interesting with a capital L.
