This review is from: Looking for Andrew Mccarthy (Hardcover)
Ellie has just celebrated her 30th birthday crying her eyes out in her bathroom after catching her latest boyfriend snogging an unattractive woman. Feeling horrible about the state of her life she embarks on a road trip to locate her 80's crush, Andrew McCarthy, who she just knows will be able to help her figure out why life didn't turn out like the ending of one of those brat pack movies she adored.
This book is very light, with some sharp-edged humor (although I must admit that a lot of it went over my head as it's very UK based) and some over the top outrageous characters (a giant transvestite, anyone?). Julia and Ellie, like most chick-lit types, are a little too shallow for my liking but not so much so that was overly annoyed. Loved the bit where Julia and Ellie ran into C. Thomas (call me Thom) Howell. It brought back some long buried memories and gave me some terrifying dreams of my old skyhigh 80's hair. This book also brought to life in horrifying technicolor my memories of Madonna black rubber bracelets, the crush on Corey Hart and the endless hours spent spraying my hair into a perfect rats nest. Thanks for the memories (and nightmares!) Jenny Colgan.
