Faking It by Jennifer Crusie

It's based on popular belief that opposites attract. By our own experiences I'm sure we have concluded this to be true-or at least we hoped it to be and then painfully realize it doesn't always apply.

In the case of Matilda Goodnight and Davy Dempsey they both take a chance on a supposed opposition to their norms. Initially, there is a belief that they are the quintessential opposites slowly being dragged to one another for reasons neither of them are sure of or can even understand. And who would have thought that a chance encounter in a stranger's closet would be the start of an unexpected and life changing ride? Hmmm, I might have had a clue...

While both appear to be who they seem, there is a mutual recognition that something or someone different lies beneath the surface. Am I talking multiple personalities? No, there's certianly no mental disorders among this novel of characters. But different expressions of who they are? Yes, most definitely. The journey of revealing their true selves is surrounded with intriguing and equally complicated characters, theft, hit men, the FBI, a funky Chinese jacket... and several forged paintings by a mysterious and unknown artist named Scarlet.

To uncover the mystery of who Scarlet truly is involves delving into the city of Columbus, Ohio and following the lives of the Goodnight women, their paintings, and the ever continued debate on whether a doughnut or a muffin is the preferred choice in a man.

And no, I'm not talking about food...

Happy reading,
