After a much needed wardrobe makeover, lessons on the meaning of unavailability, menu etiquette, and finally learning to make women smolder, the new "Jonny", becomes a far too successful heartbreaker. And Tracie discovers that she just might be head-over-heels in love with him. But there are a few loose ends: Phil has decided he wants to settle down with Tracie, Tracie's girlfriend is obsessed with Jonny, and Jon can't understand why Tracie never liked him for who he was before the leather. With her inimitable wit, Olivia Goldsmith delivers a smart, laugh-out-loud tale of modern romance sure to keep readers everywhere in stitches.
