  <default-description>Stockbroker Jay Jarvis just moved east. His dating life's gone south. What else is a guy to do but go fishing? ''This is one book you don't want to miss!''--Crossings Book Club. ''Blackston's light and breezy style makes Flabbergasted an ideal reading choice for a lazy summer night.''--Bookpage. ''Blackston's first novel is refreshingly honest . . . Good writing and an ample dose of humor make this as charming as Bridget Jones' Diary from the male point of view. Highly recommended.''--Library Journal. ''A fun, lighthearted and thoroughly enjoyable 'relational gumbo' of a novel . . . quirky and very satisfying, this novel is an excellent debut.''--CCM Magazine.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[The sarcastic voice of the narrator really had me laughing. As the review states, it is indeed a male version of Bridget Jones and I did have a good time reading the novel. It is rather quite surprising though because in the end you just have to realize that this is not like any other romantic comed...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55365023">more...</a>]]></body>
