I knew I'd like this book the moment that Janie, the narrator and main character, confessed her desire to be more like Katharine Hepburn. If you have not seen a movie with Katharine Hepburn in it, go do so. Her award winning classics are The Philadelphia Story and The African Queen, but the films where she co-starred with Spencer Tracy, like Adam's Rib, are a lot of fun too. My personal favorite of her movies is Bringing Up Baby - because escaped leopard! Anyway, the point is, if a character in a book decides that Katharine Hepburn is their role model, then I approve. And then I recommend the book and the witty Ms. Hepburn to you.
