Every Boy's Got One

Every Boy’s Got One
By Meg Cabot
Avon, 2005. 328 pages. Fiction

This is the third and my least favorite book in Cabot’s Boy series. Cabot still following the format of the previous two books tells the story in the format of travel journal and text messages.

The New York Journal is left behind for the Italian country-side where Holly and Mark, minor characters from the previous books, are eloping. Jane, the maid-of-honor, thinks it’s so romantic, but Mark’s best man, Cal, a cynical divorcee is trying to find the best way to talk Mark out of it. Jane and Cal instantly clash over their views of love and marriage, but when a missing document potentially prevents the wedding from taking place, will Cal prove he’s got one (a heart) and work with Jane to save the day?

This novel was apparently inspired by Meg Cabot’s own wedding in Italy. There are definitely some cute and funny moments, but overall I enjoyed it far less than Cabot’s first two books.
