From Booklist
Jane Spring is on a horrible first date. Food is gobbled, conversation is littered with thinly disguised insults, and sexual performance is questioned. And it's all Jane's fault. The beautiful, brainy, successful attorney is militaristic in her approach to all life's situations, including her social life. When she is dumped at the end of yet another in a string of endless first dates, Jane finally understands--it's not them, it's her. Trapped in her apartment by a blizzard with two bottles of wine and a Doris Day movie marathon, Jane hits on a plan for a total makeover. She will channel Doris and get her man, whoever he is. Her transformation into the '50s icon astonishes her coworkers, charms the jurors in her latest trial, and befuddles the opposing counsel, a former law-school buddy. A charming modern fairy tale with all the essential chick-lit elements: witty banter, quirky secondary characters, dueling love interests, and personal makeovers. This frothy summer confection will please fans of single-in-the-city comic romance. Kaite Mediatore
