<p>It's gotten great reviews:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Crane is one of the funniest writers of popular fiction around. The dialog (inner and outer) is laugh-out-loud, snort-inducing hilarious . . . Readers will want to cross their fingers and spit while throwing salt over their shoulders if it helps Berry reach her dreams. Highly recommended."</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">&mdash;<em>Library Journal</em></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><em></em>"Fans of Stacy Ballis and Cara Lockwood will appreciate Crane's effortlessly funny style, which is often attempted in popular fiction but is rarely this well executed...Lighthearted and charmingly honest."</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em>&mdash;Booklist</em></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><em></em>"[A] satisfying romantic comedy...[with] real character growth."</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em>&mdash;Kirkus Reviews</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>And even better blurbs:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Romantic, poignant and funny&mdash;this book is a lucky find for lit fans. Caprice Crane is a nimble and gifted storyteller."</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">&mdash;Diablo Cody, Academy Award-winning screenwriter of&nbsp;<em>Juno</em></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"A hilarious romp that oozes charm and giddy fun.&nbsp;Caprice Crane is a true talent."</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">&mdash;Molly Jong-Fast, author of&nbsp;<em>The Social Climber's Handbook</em></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><em></em>"Witty, fast-paced, and sheer fun. Caprice Crane is a master of dialogue. Half the time I was reading this book I was smiling, which made me look like a crazy person on the subway."</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">&mdash;Jancee Dunn, author of&nbsp;<em>Don&rsquo;t You Forget About Me&nbsp;</em>and&nbsp;<em>Why Is My Mother Getting a Tattoo?</em></p>

<p>I went to the premiere on Tuesday and it was the coolest thing ever. First, the movie is AMAZING and Chris Evans is a superstar. Second, there were so many damn people there it was insane. I have been to movie premieres in New York before and they were nothing like this. I mean, they closed down Hollywood Boulevard. I would've taken photos to show you, but the invite said to leave phones in the car. But here's a photo of me in my&nbsp;cool Captain America 3D glasses:</p>
<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.prettyinthecity.com/storage/2011/MeCaptainAmericaGlasses.JPG?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1311358963397" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>(Sit down, stop jumping around, it's an awesome picture, I know. And the quality is amazing. It's not grainy or reddish... it's perfect.) (No, it's not.)</p>
<p>(And you can totally see the Captain America logo on the side of the glasses.) (No, you can't.)</p>
<p>Anyway, Captain America is pulling a strong 71% fresh rating on <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/captain-america/">Rotten Tomatoes</a> right now so GO SEE IT! IT'S FANTASTIC!&nbsp;</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.prettyinthecity.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-12221387.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>HGTV, LA and Dining Room Tables</title><dc:creator>Karyn</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 15 Jul 2011 05:06:54 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.prettyinthecity.com/blog/2011/7/15/hgtv-la-and-dining-room-tables.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">248572:5816468:12124340</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>I've been watching a lot of HGTV since coming to LA. My favorite shows are&nbsp;<em><a href="http://www.hgtv.com/house-hunters/show/index.html">House Hunters</a></em> and <em><a href="http://www.hgtv.com/house-hunters-international/show/index.html">House Hunters International</a></em>. There's also another show I like to watch called <em><a href="http://www.hgtv.com/for-rent/show/index.html">For Rent</a></em>, but only because it makes me angry.</p>
<p>When it comes to apartments/homes, I think living in New York for the past eleven years has made me bitter because there was this whiny broad on <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/for-rent/show/index.html"><em>For Rent</em></a> a few nights ago who was looking at a huge place&mdash;A HUGE PLACE&mdash;and was like, "There's no place for a dining room table..."</p>
<p>B*TCH, YOU'RE LUCKY TO GET A KITCHEN IN NEW YORK.</p>
<p>I hated her.</p>
<p>Now there's some stupid lady on <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/house-hunters/show/index.html">House Hunters</a> who wants a townhouse with a fireplace that she can turn on with a light switch. IT HAS TO BE A LIGHT SWITCH because she doesn't want to bend down and flip a switch on the floor.</p>
<p>WHO DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE?</p>
<p>Anyway, I know my LA update is WAY overdue (and truth be told I wrote a long one last week but for some reason it didn't save so I lost the whole thing and I was so angry that I just said, "Ah, f*ck it," and closed the computer instead of rewriting) but to give you a quick update, I AM SO HAPPY HERE. I MEAN, I'M REALLY, REALLY HAPPY.&nbsp;And I think living here and watching HGTV&mdash;both of these things combined&mdash;has made me realize that New York was just beating me down. I mean, the fireplace lady&mdash;yes, she's an idiot. But there's nothing wrong with wanting a dining room table. Why did I get so mad at that lady?</p>
<p>Since being here, at least once a day I ask myself why I have lived in New York for so long. (It's like I had Stockholm Syndrome or something.) CALIFORNIA IS AWESOME. It's like the promised land. It's sunny all the time and there are birds and flowers everywhere. I have space out here. I have a sofa on the patio out here. I HAVE A SOFA OUTSIDE. I haven't seen one rat since I've been here. But hummingbirds? THEY ZIP BY MY HEAD EVERY DAY. I am so happy.</p>
<p>I'm supposed to go back to New York in November, but truth be told, I'm not sure I will.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.prettyinthecity.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-12124340.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Jack, My Narcoleptic Nephew Update</title><dc:creator>Karyn</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 17 Jun 2011 19:10:44 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.prettyinthecity.com/blog/2011/6/17/jack-my-narcoleptic-nephew-update.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">248572:5816468:11826545</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Remember when I wrote <a href="http://www.prettyinthecity.com/blog/2011/3/29/jack-my-narcoleptic-nephew.html">this post</a> about how my nephew Jack can sleep anywhere?</p>

<p>I'm getting ready to go to the gym (again, like a total Angeleno!) so I will update later about my run-ins with Alexander Skarsgard, Pauly Shore, and Jeremy or Jason London (I'm not sure which one it was and seeing if I could force him to do drugs to find out seemed unfair. Besides, as it turned out,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20471621,00.html">he was telling the truth</a>?)</p>
<p>Anyhoo, I've got a lot to tell you about gardening! (Did you know if you get dirt wet it turns into mud? Yuck.)</p>
<p>And bumpers! (They don't bump off anything... they go, "Scraaaaaaaatch!")</p>
<p>And there's probably more but, again, I have to go because I have to get to the gym!</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.prettyinthecity.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-11748459.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
