She's a lowly assistant editor at <I>GirlTime</I> magazine, she drives an ancient Toyota, and she has a history of choosing men who fall several thousand feet below acceptable boyfriend standard. Not to mention that she shares an apartment with a scruffy , tactless roommate, her best girlfriends are a little too perfect, and the most affectionate male in her life&#8212;her cat, Fatboy&#8212;occasionally pees in her underwear draw.</P><P>Then Helen gets the telephone call she least expects: Her father has had a massive heart attack. Initially brushing off his death as merely an interruption in her already chaotic life (they were never very close, after all), Helen is surprised to find everything else starting to crumble around her. Her pushy mother is coming apart at the seams, a close friend might be heading toward tragedy, and, after the tequila incident, it looks as though Tom the vet will be sticking with Dalmatians. Turns out getting over it isn't going to be quite as easy as she thought.</P> 38609 2000 Getting Over It total:1228|5:188|4:436|3:456|2:111|1:37| 1228 4311 1571 101 4 1 false false Mon Aug 18 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 22 13:30:53 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 25 04:14:12 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 true false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Mon Jul 02 13:48:55 -0700 2007 Wed Jan 09 13:03:43 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 1 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 23 13:30:02 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 10 18:35:15 -0700 2007
