The Thing about Jane Spring

THE THING ABOUT JANE SPRING: Sharon Krum: Viking: Fiction: 315 pages

Jane Spring, a New York City assistant DA, was raised by a military father who stressed discipline, loyalty, and honor but left Jane without any training in the feminine arts, which may explain why she’s a disaster in the dating scene. Determined to change her luck in love, Jane adopts Doris Day as a role model and reinvents herself, complete with white gloves and yellow-walled apartment. While Jane’s extremes in personality, completely rigid and un-self-aware to purring kitten, are a little hard to swallow, this is a fun piece of chick lit with a unique plot device that sets it apart from other offerings in the genre.
