OK, so when I saw this book on the table at tonight's meet-up, I had to claim it, and here's the reason: the author played (among other things, probably) a character named Mary on a soap opera called Santa Barbara many years ago. I remember being so sad about the character dying, and how her death affected her love, Mason. Well, Harley Jane Kozak has done other things since then, including apparently, writing a book(s). So I must read it.

This book was a good enough read. Wollie Shelley is dating forty men in sixty days as part of a social science research project for a bestselling radio-personality psychotherapist. Then she stumbles over a dead body en route to Rio Pescado - a state-run mental hospital - to see her brother. She is momentarily taken hostage by a charismatic "doctor" who is on the run from the Mob.
A little bit of mob action, a little bit of living-with-a-family-member-who-has-a-mental-illness, a little bit of love and sex.

RELEASE NOTES:

I left this in the bathroom at work. I left early so I don't know if it got picked up, but I did hear some people talking about it - one of them was wondering what kind of surveillance it had on it!
