Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

To catch the perfect man, you have to become the perfect girl ...

Jane Spring has discovered that twenty-first-century relationships are built on a myth. She's organized, attractive, strong-minded and self-sufficient - yet she's single. She's smart, ambitious and sexually confident - yet somehow, while all her friends plan their weddings, no-one wants to marry her.

Then one day she finds the answer. Drinking her way through a depressing afternoon snowed into her apartment, she turns on the TV and finds a Doris Day marathon. And that's when the revelation hits her- Doris wouldn't be stuck inside alone at a weekend. Doris wouldn't scare men off. Doris always gets her man. Because despite everything men say, they're terrified of women like Jane. What they really want is a cute little blonde with frosted pink lipstick, tight pencil skirts and kitten heels. What they really want is Doris.

And so Jane Spring sets out to reinvent herself. If that's what men want, that's what she'll give them...

Reviews for The Thing About Jane Spring

The kind of funny, high-charged and Technicolor-bright story that shrieks Reese Witherspoon. ( The Hollywood Reporter ) Riotously funny! ( The Cleveland Plain Dealer )
