From the bestselling author of The First Wives` Club and Young Wives, a sparkling New York comedy about making plans for other people -- and then tripping yourself up in them. There`s something magical about Brooklyn`s Billy Nolan. It`s not just that he`s wickedly attractive, it`s that any woman he dates and dumps (and he dates and dumps them all) immediately goes on to marry someone else. Sassy, uptown New Yorker Kate is immune to Billy`s charms - she left Brooklyn behind a long time ago, and she`s not about to fall under the spell of a handsome waster from the old neighbourhood. Besides, she`s dating the eminently suitable Michael. But perhaps the `Billy effect` will work for Kate`s friend, Bina, who has fallen apart because her almost-fiance, Jack, is going away to `explore his singleness`. All Kate has to do is get Billy to date Bina and dump her - and then await Jack`s return and watch the magic happen. It`s a great plan and at first it seems to be working. But the one thing Kate hasn`t considered is how Billy feels about it all...
