Amy Shepherd greets the one-year anniversary of her divorce by throwing herself a celebratory dinner of once-forbidden foods (frozen dinner from Trader Joe's, no salad at all, and lots of dessert) and giving away all of her married-life possessions. The art director of Kids Press, Amy has been assigned to revise the story of Goldilocks, and she finds her own life reflecting a similar tale. Will she fall for a man who's a little too old (but exciting), a man who's a little too young (but awfully exciting looking), or a man who's just right, at least as far as her friends are concerned? Or will she bring Goldilocks' story-and her own-up to date with a little help from high-technology and the Goldilocks Planet theory? Amy will have to decide how her own tale will end, all the while driving her beloved powder blue convertible through the streets of Santa Monica, where she has become known as the Girl in the '67 Beetle, the only thing in her life that, so far at least, feels just right.

Latte Lessons

Holly Phillips's Rules For Living The Sweet Life...1. When your sister gets engaged for the sixth time, you should not have to listen to her story. Let her tell a stranger. That's what subways are for. 2. Opening junk mail can be a good substitute for dating. Dates don't make you eligible for prize money or vacation condos. 3. If your newly divorced mom tells you she's rediscovered sex, run like the wind. 4. Only family has the right to criticize your shoes. 5. Ex-husbands dropping by with strange food = danger. 6. Men who give you paper lobsters could be sweet or total freaks. There's no sure way to tell. 7. Memo-happy bosses must die. 8. When in doubt, take a big, messy bite. It's the only way to get down to the good stuff...
