This is a story about what happens when you think and truly mean things like "I don't care if the world ends, as long as it ends before this stupid wedding." There is sex, albeit awkward and tentative. There are drugs, however illegal. There is very little rock and roll, but there is, of course, a wedding, and possibly a heroine: Betsy Nilssen, who, daily, finds herself in the sort of Manhattan workplace frequently filled with fashion models, few of whom have spilled milk on their jeans. She has a best friend named Bridget, and all Betsy wants is to escape the coming apocalypse by fleeing with Bridget to New Zealand, where they could kayak through fjords and make out with surfers. But two things happen: Bridget deserts Betsy---if by that we mean that Bridget accepts her boyfriend's proposal of marriage---and Betsy meets the man of her quite literal dreams, possibly the only person who might assuage the terrifying fact of Bridget's wedding while simultaneously distracting her from the end of the world---er, year. This is a story about the risks and the rewards of becoming the next and better you, whoever that person might be. It is a story about what happens when you love tremendously and desperately and occasionally unwisely. And it is a story of that one friend: your phone-a-friend with the definition of a tangelo at the ready, the one you call when the world is ending, the one you need, finally, more than any other person on the planet. 1501232 2 10 2007 Smart Girls Like Me total:201|5:11|4:44|3:65|2:60|1:21| 201 567 392 48 5 2 false false Mon Jul 16 05:34:28 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 24 07:45:46 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sat Apr 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 13 15:09:46 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 24 00:28:06 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 23:56:49 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 00:06:04 -0700 2009
