Romance Chick-Lit
Just when you thought you'd put the past behind you-the forlorn crushes, the awkward fashions, the cliques, the pigeonholes, those rampant, raging hormones-it sneaks up on you when you least expect it, and suddenly, you're invited to turn the clock back ten years. Your high school class is reuniting, and it feels so...bad. What happens when you're forced to choose between dwelling on the past and living for the future? Nina Kurtz is every guy's gal. A carrot-topped bartender at Boston's Bellyaches Comedy Den, Nina's got the swiftest of wit and a truckload of zingers; a combo that makes everyone from her cockney sleazeball boss to her ruddy good natured regulars wonder what's keeping Nina behind the bar instead of up on stage. Nina's more concerned with her status as the Funny Girl-she seems resigned to a lifelong role of the girl 'friend'. When that fateful piece of calligraphied mail arrives, that invitation to relive the high school glory days, Nina's conflicted, and somewhat mortified by the cards fate has dealt her. After all, though she was voted the most likely of her class to work in a comedy club, slinging cheap beer at a dingy dive probably wasn't what her classmates had in mind. Still, the only successful relationship Nina's had to date was with her high school boyfriend, Jacob Ryan. Maybe slinking down memory lane, tail between her legs, isn't such a bad idea, if it means figuring out what the heck she did romantically right, all those years ago...
