Twenty-five-year-old Mel Parker has a few tiny problems: Her job is terrible. She's been dumped yet again. Her ex is now her boss. The one good thing in her life has always been her best friend, Will, who has seen her through every crisis from lost toys to pregnancy scares. But his girlfriend (who's prettier, better-dressed, more successful, and secretly evil) is determined to replace Mel as the woman in his life, and how is Mel supposed to compete?

Would you listen to The Dr. Pepper Prophecies again? Why?
Yes - I'd totally listen again, and the answer "why" is simple: the narrator. Whoever this is, she seemed to not only "get" this character, but completely brought to life the story, the other characters, and made everything that much better. I can't wait to "read" the next in this series - that is, if there is one. (THERE BETTER BE :) )
What did you like best about this story?
It's just flat-out charming.
Which character – as performed by Elan O'Connor – was your favorite?
The lead - Mel. She's funny, quirky, upbeat, a little dirty ... I'd date her :)
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed out loud several times - and actually had to pause to Google some stuff (blue cervix?) - Mostly I was just so pleasantly surprised. I got this on a friend's recommendation (she'd read the book, thought I might find it funny), as I'm writing a script currently about the British dating scene and have gone through the "Bridget Jones" books already. I figured this would be a cheap knock-off, but ended up really really liking it on its own merits.
Any additional comments?
Check it out!
Also, Elan O'Connor - are you Irish? Single? Read me more books, yes and thank you.
