I’ve just finished Getting the Girl by Susan Juby, a book destined to be used in writing classrooms everywhere as an example of strong narrative voice. It’s funny stuff.

I’ve always wanted to read one of Susan’s books, partly because I see her name everywhere and partly because one of my friends has the same last name and is convinced she’s related. I think she’s lucky. If Susan’s as witty in person as she is in writing, she’d be a great addition to the family Thanksgiving dinner table.
