What a Catch.

It Had to be You is about this heiress inheriting a baseball team when her famous father passes away. The storyline tumbles and winds around Phoebe's chance to lead the team and getting along with everyone; especially butting heads with Dan, the coach, every chance she gets. They end up in this wild fling

Phoebe makes an excellent and hillarious entrance, when the whole team is at the father's funeral.

You can really feel Phoebe's emotions, in what her cousin did to her and the compassion of the other teamplayers. The friendships form into heart-felt relationships.

Dan's exwife was crazy and childish. Her attempts at getting with her exhusband again just killed me. Makes you wonder why Dan got with her in the first place. How did they even get past the first couple of dates... LOL This by no means takes away- or makes the story bad- from the development of the storyline, but rather it shows Dan's growth from childish desires with his ex-wife to lust as a man with a woman like Phoebe.

Also, as I was reading thru the book, I could picture Matthew McConaughey playing Dan and Heather Locklear playing Phoebe. If this were acted out in a movie, I could definitely see both actors being in the cast.
