Back Page Summary

A hilarious tale of girl meets boy, girl falls in lust, girl discovers boy is not playing with a full deck...

When Kas meets William while on safari in South Africa he seems perfect-a gorgeous park ranger, both kind and brave (he saved the tour from certain death by water buffalo). Her two best friends, Max, an endlessly scheming personal trainer, and Libby, a jobless bombshell, would like to get their hands on William...but he's only interested in Kas, an editorial assistant at a struggling New York literary agency who thinks William is out of her league. The two have a fling, and Kas returns home to New York wondering if she'll hear from William again. So when he finally sends an email, she's delighted.

Until she opens it.

The email is not quite the love missive Kas expected. Did she misjudge William? A miscommunication ensues, triggering a rapid-fire series of comic developments that, within days, bring William to New York, now under the impression that Kas has offered him a place to live. As he unveils his big plan to take Manhattan by storm and make his fortune, Kas finally recognizes how limited William's intellectual capabilities are: He makes Kevin Federline look like Albert Einstein.

Book Room Review

I’m with Stupid isn’t your average chick lit story. It is extremely funny and witty. The main characters are a bit self absorbed but I did enjoy them. I loved the side plot of Kas’s friend Max plotting revenge on her ex Richard. Hilarious! One problem I did have doesn’t even involve the story but the book cover. I think it is awful and doesn’t do justice to the book. Other than that I think singles would love this story and relate to the characters. Plus the ending is unexpected which I like. An enjoyable summer read!
