All the various minor characters seem to be having issues of their own that Cabot feels the need to go into ad nauseum.

Mitch and Stuart get into it over random family troubles and also a disagreement over the Ida Lopez case. Kate feels bad about firing Ida and stresses about it constantly, that and the fact that she likes Mitch but thinks he is only a scummy lawyer. What follows can only be labeled as drama, drama, drama, and not in a good way. During the deposition Kate is met with quite a surprise in the form of Mitch Hertzog, brother to the aforementioned Stuart and the lawyer in charge of representing the case for Kate and the Journal. Thus, in order to not lose her job, Kate fires Ida only to be sued later for wrongful termination. that this was an unreasonable reason to fire someone and tried to get her to pass it of as a warning but the T.O.D. is making Kate fire Ida Lopez, the highly popular dessert lady for the senior staff dining room, because Ida refused to give the T.O.D.’s boyfriend, Stuart Hertzog (a lawyer for the firm that represents the Journal), a piece of pie. She works under Amy Jenkins (the HR devil we were introduced to in the first novel) whom Kate has aptly nicknamed the T.O.D, short for Tyrannical Office Despot. We are also introduced to Kate Mackenzie who is an employee of the New York Journal’s Human Resources Division. In this book we follow some of the lesser explored of the first book. They main characters are casually mentioned as the book progresses but that is all. For one thing it does not, as you would expect from books in a series, continue with the same characters. It is recommended for adult readers.īoy Meets Girl is the second book in the Boy series but it is nothing like the first. Boy Meets Girl by Meg Cabot fits into the romance fiction genre and was published in 2004.
