![]() Emily doesn’t have much time to resent her, though, as she may have found The One, too, in the form of British cartoonist Henry Phillips. He happens to find The One at a soiree that very next night: a thin, pretty woman who Emily instantly despises. ![]() ![]() Emily is thrown one night when Dash tells her that his free-wheeling, lady-killing days are over and he’s ready to find The One to settle down with. The Fabulous Emily Briggs is the story of (obviously) Emily Briggs, a freelance artist who spends her time shopping, hanging out with her best (amazingly non-gay) male friend Dash and working in Manhattan. The Fabulous Emily Briggs by Jacqueline deMontravel has neither. However, for a story such as this to work, it either has to have the great character or the great situations. Why have books with such similar plots worked? Most of them have interesting, easy-to-relate-to characters being thrown into either hilarious or heart-rending situations, making it easy for readers to root for them and become interested in their antics. The tried and true chick-lit formula of young, successful twenty-something woman in the big city looking for love has worked in countless fluffy books in the past few years. ![]()
