Now you need to go watch the movie with the lovely John Cusack (who does not have a British accent). <br /><br />I remember when I read this book thinking, "really, guys think that?" For some reason the male point of view...even coming from a male author...seemed a little off to me. Perhaps because my husband is emotionally retarded--unlike Rob. :)Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-71822918169787244272009-10-02T20:23:12.686-05:002009-10-02T20:23:12.686-05:00Jackie ~ Hornby is an author worth adding to the T...Jackie ~ Hornby is an author worth adding to the TBR.
