The Unlikely Romance of Kate Bjorkman - (Laurel-Leaf Books) by Louise Plummer (Paperback)

About the Book

"Spoofing the searing descriptions and pat plots of torrid bodice rippers, this six-foot tall heroine with glasses thick as Coke bottles and an I.Q. off the charts proves that true love awaits even the gawkiest, most socially inept teen."

Book Synopsis

I m Kate Bjorkman. I don t like romance novels. They re full of three-paragraph kisses describing people s tongues and spittle. But what do you do if you ve lived a real romance with a great-looking guy (Richard) and he loves you as much as you love him? I know what I did. I wrote this romance novel about myself, using the Romance Writer s Phrase Book. I also used stuff my English teach taught me about writing. He said a story must have conflict. No problem there. My life was one big conflict last Christmas. I didn t make anything up. This is the honest truth and I want truth even in romance. I m betting you ll want the same."
