Meet Kate Mackenzie. She: * works for the T.O.D. (short for Tyrannical Office Despot, also known as Amy Jenkins, Director of the Human Resources Division at the New York Journal) * is sleeping on the couch because her boyfriend of ten years refuses to commit * can't find an affordable studio apartment anywhere in New York City * thinks things can't get any worse They can. Because: * The T.O.D. is making her fire the most popular employee in the paper's senior staff dining room * that employee is now suing Kate for wrongful termination, and * now Kate has to give a deposition in front of Mitch Hertzog, the scion of one of Manhattan's wealthiest law families, who embraces everything Kate most despises ... but also happens to have a nice smile and a killer bod. The last thing anybody—least of all Kate Mackenzie—expects to find in a legal arbitration is love. But that's the kind of this that can happen when ... BOY MEETS GIRL.

I have to admit, I hate novels conveyed solely through messages because it makes the emotion in the novel harder to find, and decipher. Yet I also have to admit that I love the book, despite my finickiness. Kate, on the order of her boss Amy Jenkins, ends up firing the lovely Ida (the much-loved desert-cart lady at the office) because Ida refuses to give desert to Stuart. In return, Ida sues the company. Here enters Mitch, the ever-delish lawyer, brother of Stuart. However, Mitch is so cold-hearted, so when Amy (who's engaged to Stuart) places the blame on Kate, Mitch backs Kate up with lawyerly style.

Charming and witty, this is a must read of a book. At times it made me frown, but mostly it made me smile that crazy smile.

If you think your life is messed up, you have to read this book! It will send you laughing and the style of writing allows you to sympathize with the main characters. The main story is: Katy is working for a horrible boss who gets her to fire the ever-so-popular dessert lady. She then gets tangled up in a complicated court case involving the termination of the dessert lady's job which ends with Katy being fired. Where does the boy come in? Well, the lawyer (who's brother got the dessert lady fired) is extremely cute and Katy simply cannot resist despite the fact that he is working for corporations whom she hates and kind of got her fired...

All of Meg Cabot's books are the same: boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, boy asks girl out, boy and girl have issues and boy wins girl at the end. Unoriginal. Doesn't catch my interest. No surprises or nothing. Just the same thing all over again. This book is no different. It's not funny or memorable. I forgot about it as soon as I finished it.

This book, told by emails, instant messages, journal entries and phone messages is definitely one of the best books I read this month.
It's about Kate, a young woman working at the New York Journal's Human Resources Department. Her boss, Amy wants her to fire the desert lady in the Senior's lunch room, Ida Lopez, the BEST desert maker ever! After getting fired, when Ida sues the company, that's when Amy meets the lawyer, Mitchell. And the love story begins...

Another great book my Meg Cabot!
This is an adult fiction novel that is written in email format. It was hard to get ito but once I did I really enjoyed reading it. A little romance and comedy and you got what I call a successful book.

I liked the book and all that, although I feel Meg has used up this kind of story and I found it hard to bond with the characters.
Although I found myself kinda liking Sean for her headstrongness.

This book never really received much praise, but I got toally involved in the whole story line. It was so much fun and had me laughing outloud! I loved the main character, Kate Mackenzie, a young, bright, and innocent country girl. She's a human resource rep. at the NY Journal now and is involved in a case involving the firing of the Journal's best bakery chef. Kate has to give a desposition with Ida's (the baker) lawyer, Mitchel Hertzog. But he's so cute and she really really likes him. But he's the opposition, but he's also on Kate's side, who didn't even want Ida fired in the first place! All this because of Kate's mean and bossy boss.
It's so fun to read all this through Kate's emails, phone messages, letters, notes, and diary entries. You'll surely be entertained. Read to find out what happens to Kate and Mitch's relationship! This book is hooking and keeps you reading little parts of it all day long.

Boy Meets Girl is about Kate, newly hired to work in human resources for a NYC newspaper. The entire office, including her best friend Jen, hates their boss, Amy Jenkins. When the dessert lady, Ida Lopez, is fired after refusing to serve a piece of key lime pie to the company lawyer, Stuart Hertzog, Kate is caught up involuntarily in the big mess. Ida Lopez decides to sue Amy and Kate for wrongful termination. Since Stuart cant take on the case, (he is personally involved with Amy) the case is taken over by Stuarts younger brother, Mitchell. When Kate (newly free from her bf, Dale) meets Mitchell, she begins to fall for his looks and charm. Jen backs her up 100%, encouraging her to take every opportunity to win his heart. But Dale seems to interfere in Kates life. Finally, when Kate thinks that things are going well, she ends up being fired from her job for allegedly making up lies about Amy. Mitch is blamed for the big mess. Then Mitch has to find a way to make it up to her&

Boy Meets Girl was probably one the best Meg Cabot books (if its possible to choose)! I absolutely loved it. It was humorous and romantic at the same time. The characters were so developed that I either hated the character (Stuart) or loved them (Mitch). I wish that Mitch were real, lol. All Meg Cabot (and non Meg Cabot) fans have to pick up this book. I couldnt put it down , so I read it all in one day. It was amazing.
