Only Love Can Break a Heart, But a Shoe Sale Can Come Close--is a batch of giggles and "ouches" for millions of adoring Cathy fans. Why do they love her so? "Because," said a noted sociologist, "one thing never changes--it"s still very important that you look good in a bathing suit!"

This review is from: Only Love Can Break a Heart, But a Shoe Sale Can Come Close: A Cathy Collection (Paperback)

Cathy is the modern spokesperson for america... this book is too funny. Although you enjoy her being single, you can't help but wonder with each page whether or not she'll be with Irving, or laughing at her being persuaded into another new outfit she doesn't need by the saleswoman. Watch her go to her parents house and listen to them wonder if she'll ever be married, and then treating electra like their grandchild. It's Cathy at her best, being her witty and charming self. Full of tons of humor, this book is a must have. In the end you'll find that this story is somewhat similar to your own.
