Hey, a nonstop volley of one-liners and steamy action in an old Ford truck. Why are we such suckers for romantic comedies that start with the inevitable lovers hurling barbs? You won't be surprised to hear that even though Meg and Ted ostensibly can't stand each other, they wind up sparking a passionate physical affair. At one point Meg "grabbed his hands and stared at his palms. Phillips's ongoing joke about Ted being like Jesus - "except rich and sexy" - inspires some of the biggest laughs in the book. Thing is, at 30, this pampered child of Hollywood has spent a decade aimlessly traveling the world, and now her parents have stopped helping with the cash-y, change-y thing.īottom line: Having saved her best friend from marrying the wrong guy, Meg finds herself broke and stuck in the midst of some mighty angry Texans who view her as "the Voldemort of Wynette." In particular, she's stuck in the sights of sulky Ted, who everyone else seems to think walks on water. Her wedding-crusher bridesmaid is Meg Koranda, the scion of a movie star and an uber-model. In " Call Me Irresistible," the prolific Susan Elizabeth Phillips brings together the offspring of three couples from her previous best-selling novels to play out a love triangle against a dusty Hill Country background. Particularly when the intended is the divine Ted Beaudine, flower of Wynette, Tex., boy genius, self-made millionaire and son of a legendary golfer and his TV star wife. Helping your best friend jilt her groom at the altar: very awkward.
Showing up for your best friend's wedding not having met her groom: awkward.
