Summary: I think I've read this before.
Review: Guy falls in love with girl who is a snob, but drop dead gourgeous. Guy meets girl who is tougher around the edges, beautiful, but not in a typical way. Very repetitive.The interesting part of the book was the part that took place in the tropics. After that it was all mush. You can do better for this if you're looking for romance!

Summary: amusing class war romance
Review: His friend Paul lends Arlington, Connecticut resident Ethan Parnell use of a time sharing condo in St. Thomas. Ethan takes his fiancee and her parents with him. Carol allows her Bronx pal Gina Morante to use the same condo at the same time that the Parnell party plans to stay there. Gina's seven-year-old niece the Ally Cat accompanies her on her vacation. Switching dates and misunderstanding of summer use causes Paul and Carol's mix up. Though Ethan and Gina argue over who has the right of occupation, they are also attracted to one another. When they return to their respective homes, neither can forget the other. Soon Ethan and Gina fall in love, but he is an upper class Connecticut Yankee while she is a working class Bronx Yankee making the only link besides devotion, the New England Expressway. This amusing class war romance takes the fabulous 1970s movie The Heartbreak Kid and turns it on its head by reversing how the audience reacts to the female characters. Though Alicia the fiancee (and her parents) comes across as too snobbish to compete with Gina and her warm family, Ethan's bewilderment over whether he is marrying the wrong woman is a delight to behold. Fans will appreciate this three wrong (place, time and girl) romance. Harriet Klausner
