Emily couldn't be happier. Her best friend, Dru, from Seattle, is heading out to England for a short vacation, and Emily has finally decided that Fang is the perfect guy for her, hence, she plans on getting her claws into him. And soon. She just knows that her last month in England will be absolutely perfect, and filled with shopping and clubbing. But her plans go completely awry, when Fang returns from New Zealand with a new girlfriend named Audrey, in tow. Suddenly, her dream job at the museum sounds like a total nightmare, and even the re-creation of THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS, Helm's Deep Battle Scene (featuring fake blood, swords, and water balloons) goes badly. And even holding seances to contact the ghost who is still haunting her underwear drawer can't cheer her up. As Emily prepares herself for the move back to Seattle, she finally realizes just what leaving England entails...deserting Fang forever.
In this fourth installment in the Emily series, we are finally lucky enough to meet Dru in person, and she's just as fun as I'd hoped. Emily, as always, is her usual crazy self, filling her days with strange mishaps, and plenty of whining, which will please even the pickiest readers. Female readers will find the plot of THE TAMING OF THE DRU absolutely perfect, as we all experience a time of unhappiness when we are forced to move from a place that we call home. Especially if we are leaving a guy who we truly like. Overall this was a wonderful new book in the series, and I am only too happy to know that there will be a fifth Emily book released in June 2005.
