Contemporary Chick Lit
With a steadily growing cadre of readers who delight in her
smartly comic and insightful writing, Melissa Bank is an
event waiting to happen. The Girls' Guide to Hunting and
Fishing explores the life lessons of Jane, the
contemporary American Everywoman who combines the charm of
Bridget Jones, the vulnerability of Ally McBeal, and the wit
of Lorrie Moore. As she works her way from defiant teenager
to reluctant career girl, growing older and getting smarter,
Jane maneuvers her way through love, sex, relationships, and
the occasional perils of the workplace. She reluctantly
succumbs to the questionable advice offered in a pop-psych
book entitled How to Meet and Marry Mr. Right.
Accompanied at every turn by the ear-whispering authors
(who bear an uncanny resemblance to two popular, hateful
high school acquaintances) Jane makes a series of dating
decisions that lead her in the right direction--but for the
wrong reasons. Wise, poignant, and full of the kind of
laugh-out-loud insight you just have to share with your best
friend, Melissa Bank is the kind of writer readers have been
waiting for: an original voice telling a universal story
through characters we all love and recognize.
