From the bestselling author of The First Wives Club and Young Wives, a sparkling New York comedy about making plans for other people -- and then tripping yourself up in them. Theres something magical about Brooklyn boy Billy Nolan. Its not just that hes wickedly attractive, its that any woman he dates and dumps (and he dates and dumps them all) immediately goes on to marry someone else. Sassy, uptown New Yorker Kate is immune to Billys charms - she left Brooklyn behind a long time ago, and shes not about to fall under the spell of a handsome waster from the old neighbourhood. Besides, shes dating the eminently suitable Michael. But perhaps the Billy effect will work for Kates friend, Bina, who has fallen apart because her almost-fiance, Jack, is going away to explore his singleness. All Kate has to do is get Billy to date Bina and dump her - and then await Jacks return and watch the magic happen. Its a great plan and at first it seems to be working. But the one thing Kate hasnt considered is how Billy feels about it all...
